Re: Question - long -sorry

[Guest guest]

Geri,

I don't have any expertise in this area, but have heard on thyroid

forums over the years that Hashi's or hypothyroidism would not

qualify for diability. The reasoning behind that of course is that

it is treatable. so i don't know that Hashi's alone is the way to go

for you on this....

But here's a tip....illnesses like fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue

Syndrome (which oddly are sometimes just undiagnosed or undertreated

hypothyroidism) can be compensable disabilities...but i don't know

all the ins and outs of qualifying...so maybe someone else here knows

more.

There are probably some sites available for more info too - perhaps

google " social security disability qualifications " ...here's one site

that came up when i did that:

http://arthritis.about.com/cs/disability/a/ssdi.htm

that article says there is a list of diabilities which qualify...so I

think it would be important to go the right route on that from the

onset.
