Guest guest Posted November 30, 1999 Report Share Posted November 30, 1999 Hey Everyone, I hope you all are doing o.k. or as well as can be expected anyway. I have a question. How bad do you have to get before you can get disability. I am new to this and I only know that it is so hard to get up every morning and make myself go to work. Then after I get there, it seems that I get some better for a couple of hours and then I start hurting worse. Do you have to go through all the medications and hurt so bad that you can't even get up before you can take disability? Please reply if you have information on this. Thanks, Pam [ ] Doctor appointment >From: " Lee Ann Walter " <SAWalter@...> > >Hello, >I went to see my doctor today. He added Sjorgren's syndrome to >my diagnosis.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 1999 Report Share Posted December 1, 1999 HI Pam Well I reside in Ireland, that green place next to England. I am on disability, although all my limbs still work and I am off all drugs? I had to go for a medical assessment to the Hospital, where much to my own surprise the doctor prodded my liver and spleen? He then read my medical file, said, " You are an Enigma " and my disability was passed? Love and God Bless Gillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
