Default Hey There

Dunno if any of you remember me, it has been a long time. I am not doing so well, severe depression at having SSDI deny me a second time, not looking forward to the wait for the hearing.

A little about me multi level thoracic herniations T7-L1, Spinal Stenosis and degenerative Disk disease

i am on about 2400MG of neurontin daily, and it takes a bit of the edge off as well as the Oxycodone and other meds they have me on, I am so sick of taking handfuls of meds!

let me know how everyone else is doing

-Matt

Hi Nukeum,

I understand how you feel about the SSDI. But being denied once AND twice is really pretty common. Don't give up!!!! I filed back in 2006 and will be having a hearing in June of this year. And I should add what my attorney told me the other day. He said very rarely does he ever lose any spinal disorder cases simply because it never really gets any better with time. I hate to put it that way but it is true. Besides all of that he has spinal issues himself which is why I chose him. So, my best advise is to now contact an attorney if you haven't already done so. Chin up and carry on...I know it is depressing but sometimes I think they do this so that you will give up. Just proceed on. Oh, and about the meds; know that feeling too. I could never tolerate Neurontin even at 50mg in an elixer form.
