Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Diane....42; Do not be too surprised if the SSDI doc you see is a shrink the first time. I know mine was and I have heard others say the same thing. They did have a SSDI rummy doc look at all my info. I lived in Idahoat the time and this Doc was in South Dakota. I was told so was the judge because they were so back logged in Idaho. Man o man he came out stronger on my side then my own docs. he told SSDI I was not to do any thing with repetitive movements , no extreme hot or cold high or low humidity,, no vibrations to hands or legs, had to be able to sit or lay down at will could not work more then 6 hours every other day and during that time not longer then 45 mints with out a 10 min break to rest, did not see this changing for the rest of my life and not one job I had or any training I have had would lead to any job I could do with out hurting my health even farther. The vocational rehab people when asked what they thought said there was nothing they could do for me as in retraining as my limitations were so great. They also said that over my working years I have had a great amount of training in many deferent fields and that there was nothing I could do period and there recommendation was full disability for life. Well when I read the reports after I was given SSDI I sat down and cried. see I always wanted to believe I could go back to my old job that I loved some time down the line but reading it with my own docs reports really hit me hard as it was the first time I started to fully understand what I was faced with . To this day if I do any of the things there doc said I should not I pay for it big time. Now I do them every now and then as some times you just can not abode them and still live. it has limited me in life but I still believe I am better off then most as I do not seam to have much in joint trouble a bit of swelling and some pain most days but I tent to have the internal organ trouble more then any thing and it sucks. now I have been finding out if I could do some thing at home that dose not need me to work at it some times for a week or so at a time than I can do things well e baying takes a bit more time and I tried it did not do to good at it so looked at some other things and that is were I can to trying my hand again at an old love gun smithing and then the old muzzle loader stuff so like sanding when it starts to num the wrist I stoop and pick it back up a few days later . Some times it has been 5 mins and I hurt and some times it will be hours later. my hold back right now is the money to buy the parts and no shop to work in as doing it at my computer desk is not the greatest as I have done that and well I could but it becomes more work then enjoyment and the dust is not good for the puter LOL. so when we move a shop is in order and then I hope to start as is behind it 100% and we are already trying to save the money to buy a lot of parts to start off with and I buy what I can on ebay right now also for that day and if I can not do it then I will resale the items we have as most are no longer made and or there original parts from guns back in the 1860 or earlier time frame. Well I got a bit off topic sorry about that but it is about how I am working to handle my stills after what SSDI and there docs said. the rednecks Marty & G. Stills ; An illness I know to well! To learn about Stills http://www.stillsdisease.org/stills_info and Hancock: We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus! [April 18, 1775] : " The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity... I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God. " • " [July 4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. " – in a letter written to Abigail on the day the Declaration was approved by Congress Jefferson God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift from God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and that His justice cannot sleep forever. " (excerpts are inscribed on the walls of the Jefferson Memorial in the nations capital) ..Hey all!! I applied for disability.. .my Dr.s sent in all the info and even added that I was in the Hospital 3x in May..I still have to see disability's Dr.s..this is stupid..we pay into the system but they want to keep it...I don't get it!
