Re: Re: disability [was] food allergy

Kathy, how wonderful you had this experience. I too had a great judge when I

was reevaluated for SSI years ago. Amazingly he had been through similar things

to me getting off of Xanax and Klonopin and also had FMS like I did. This was

before I had (or knew I had) MCS. I'm glad to hear that a person can get

disability for MCS and have been wondering about reevaluation, what I will do.

Maybe by then I will have some medical evidence that will help too.

I must second this as well. I had just enough diagnostic criteria align with

with credible medical evidence to support a favorable SSDI award primarily based

on CFS but also ended up including MCS in the award terminology. One huge reason

for my favorable award was no doubt linked to a very well respected Occupational

Health Clincal Center practitioner versed at providing compelling testimony and

documentation that makes it difficult for a judge to deny. But I also must give

a gateful nod to my judge who was awesome, such a kind and compassionate man.

Contrary to most stories, my court experience was very different from some of

the war stories I have heard. Either way, every month when the check hits my

account, I feel such a sense of gratitude to a great doc, great lawyer and

wonderful judge.

My SS papers say MCS, I had no judge to speak to, or appeal.

God Bless !!

Mayleen,

Did you list any other illnesses/conditions when you applied, or just MCS?
