Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 My apologies to all, for my having accidentally just hit SEND and thereby relaying my entire recent digest back to the group again. POSSIBLY THE MODERATOR CAN CANCEL IT. What I really meant to say is this: I very much appreciate the words of support I have received here regarding my torturous dealings with SSDI. It is very difficult for me to remain hopeful, and I despair for my medical and financial situation. It's been downright disturbing and humiliating to me, trying to convince uncaring institutions (including my government, to whom I've paid taxes for many decades), that I really am as sick as I claim. Only recently have I had SOME support in this claim, from doctors, but they are still painfully uncooperative. I just called my " new " disability attorney, and their office told me she couldn't meet with me until after she returns from a two-week vacation that hasn't even started yet. But that probably matters little, because I was also told that their office expects around ONE YEAR wait for a court hearing, on my administrative appeal. You know, there's a large number of people in this country who have no idea this sort of thing is happening. So many people get routinely approved, sometimes with rather obscure ailments, that I just can't believe my situation. I've just about given up telling people my SSDI story, because they look at me like they don't really believe it could be so bad. And that's on top of their not necessarily believing that I really am sick at all. So that's more of why I find comfort in the stories I hear in this group. Thanks for listening.
