Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 So glad to hear about your ss disability. I was denied the first time. I now have a lawyer & he says I will probably be denied again. My rheumy wrote a wonderful letter explaining why he feels I am disabled & not able to work. RP of course is the biggy, then inflammation of cartilage, eye inflammation dur to uveitis, difficulty swalowing, vertigo & balane problems, respiratory symptoms & shortness of breat, recurrent skin ulcers, headaches, hypertension, edema & suptured achilles tendons with difficulty walking. Also significant side effects due to treatment with prednisone. It will last more than 12 months & in his opnion I am not able to work at any job. He then signed his name & title & also that he is associate professor of medicine at the U of I here. I am waiting on one from my PCP. I am hoping something will give. I applied in February the first time so we'll see. Susiecue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
