Guest guest Posted June 24, 2002 Report Share Posted June 24, 2002 Hi Sherry. I'm . I just joined the group. I was reading thru the posts and got to yours. I too am trying to get disability. I live in NC. We're pretty close to each other. I've been denied twice and now have to go before an ALJ(judge). I haven't heard when my day in court will be. I hired a lawyer after my first denial. He has really helped speed things up. I found my lawyer thru the local support group here in Lexington. He came highly recommended. I haven't worked since last April but have been in and out of work the previous years. I also wanted to tell ya that I have tried the trigger point injections. It is very painful for one thing. It might be the wonder treatment for you. As you know no one thing helps all of us. What works for you might not help another. I received the injections after accupuncture. The accupuncture is very relaxing and doesn't hurt. If you haven't tried it you may want to. I didn't get anything to help relax me but if you have a prescription of xanax you may want to take one before going into the office. The injections did help me but it was for a very short time. When I first started getting them I would sleep so good after a treatment. I started having more energy and was making good progress with the treatment. Then all of a sudden the injections weren't lasting but a few days and they weren't helping me sleep any better. I decided to quit taking them. I didn't want to subject myself to any more pain than I had to. If the treatment had continued to work I would still be doing it. I have thought about trying a different doctor and giving the treatment another try. If I was you I would give it a try. It can't hurt. I hope my info helps some. I just thought it may help you. I also wanted to post to say hello to everyone. Like I said I'm new and this is my first time posting. My name is . I'm married with 1 child. A girl. She just turned 4. I have fms,cfs, and cmp. I'm 29 but soon to be 30. I do wish to have another child one day soon. I just don't know how pregnancy goes along with my diseases. I haven't found any information about the subject either. Does anyone have any idea about where I could find some info on this topic? Or have any of you been through this or going through it? Any input will be apprecitated. I have Yahoo Messegner and feel free to add me if you like chatting. My id is stargoddess_25. I hope everyone is as comfortable as possible and as pain free as possible. Gentle hugs to everyone, Hellard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
