Guest guest Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 The shakiness and muscle wasting affecting your legs and stamina are precisely how I was until the medication kicked in and started working for me. Hopefully, you are on the right dosage and it will start helping you. If you possibly can get in to see the doctor, do it. When was your last lab test?

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 , I forgot to mention in my other post that it is quite helpful to get all of your medical records together. Luckily, the attorney's office that I am working with did everything online and I just provided them with information. They will ask about your work history, your medical history, etc. It is difficult to remember all the stuff so just do the best you can. You will also have to describe what type of deficits you have now; things you are not able to do. It is a long an arduous process so you have to be patient. My attorney has kept up with everything so I didn't miss deadlines. Hope this helps and know we are all here to help you. Terri G. > > I suffer from this debilitating diseases I am trying to seek info about being eligible for social security disability and the process to get there. I am unable to work now because of NS causing severe foot drop in my right leg making walking very difficult I also have very bad balance and tremors in all extremities. I was in a ATV accident on 6/12/07 causing a T12 burst fracture on 7/13/08 I had back surgery now I have two screws in T11 and two screws in L1 and rods connecting them. This of course did not help my situation at all but make it a lot worse. Please if any one has experience in this area any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
