Hello Everyone,
It is so great to have a forum like this for support. The last thing my doctor told me was "this day will be your best day as you will only digress", accept you know have a disability. I wanted him to be very forthright with me and he was, it meant the world to me and I am so honored to have the doctor I have.
Life moves on, I would like to ask everyone, who has filed for Social Security Disability and what challenges have you experienced?
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia Syndrome in December 2013, prior to that I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, and Degenerative Disc Disease, in which I have had 4 injections, acupuncture, and deep tissue massage with no relief. My pain has escalated quickly along with major memory and concentration issues. Prior to all this I was a Golf Course Superintendent for almost 30 years. I am finding I was a little hard on my body in the golf business. Between 2012 and 2014 I had knee surgery to both knees because of severe meniscus tear and my left should because I had bone spurs and slight tear in the rotator cup.
With all this being said, I am in the process of filing for Social Security Disability, it is a lot of paper work and preparation and then they want you to do more paper work. So, I would so greatly appreciate anyone's input on Social Security Disability and were they denied, did they have to get an attorney? Any help would be so grateful.
Thansk again for this wonderful forum and make each day count!
