Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I hope this is in support of your need to know what next. I think none of us know what's next, and I too use to think that, but it doesn't help only adds to worries, which feeds disease sypmtoms. Everyday can be different, not always bad and just hold onto that,. Learn to adjust to your body telling u when it has had enougth, limit your tasks that cause exhaustion and pain. I have just recently finally had to give in to filing for SSD, although my DR's talked about me doing it 9 yrs ago, I kept working, but wonder if I had listened to them and slowed down, with work, I worked appx 60 hrs a week and never said No to more, as I threw myself into work to get out, forget about my pain etc. and now, I can't do it anymore. Now hearing that Jeanne and Dave say it takes SEVERAl yrs., worries me as I was told I have a 120 day wait for answer, and do know most people get turned down 1st time, I have already talked to a disabilty advocate who says I am elligible, and if I get turned down they will go thru the steps to get me approved. I could be depressed hearing they say a couple yrs!, as I have a husband, but do need to help with income. But I am not going to dwell on that as I will look positively and hope I will be on within the yr., as some I have talked to have been and the disabilty inake worker told me I would be. Keep thoughts positive, not to far ahead and it helps................................................................Sharon Jeanne and Dave wrote: - What do you want to do? Is working again ever a possibility? If not, then yes, begin the long drawn-out application for SSD. It will take several years. Do you have a spouse to support you in the meantime? Take it one day at a time. Looking to far forward can be scary and depressing.
