Guest guest Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 Misty~ I am so sorry you are feeling so down today. :0( It sounds like great news that your hormone levels are normal!! Just try to have hope, relax and try not to think about getting pg when you do the baby dance. I think that when I have my reversal, I will just make love like before, or I might get nervous and then I would lose passion and that would inhibit the little fishies!!! LOL You will get pg soon! Keep your faith. Chin up and know we all care about you! :0) Ingrid Mc 30 39 May 12 Christian 10 Dylan 6 TL 95 TR 17Jan2002 (tentative).

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Wow that bites, sorry to hear that happened. I don't really understand the reason one must site in front of a judge, should not their medical documents/reports etc be the determining factor, and not how well one can speak? Sad way to decide on if one will be helped or not. lyn --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Jena, I feel your pain! My experience was similar except that my lawyer DIDN'T DO HIS FLIPPING JOB! He didn't submit my medical records for the whole 2 years that I was waiting for the hearing and called in a witness, which is the dumbest thing he could have done. He also knew nothing about the judge who apparently never gives a positive judgement. I would get a second opinion - it wouldn't hurt. To get an appeal, my new lawyer said he would have to show that there is additional evidence that was not presented in the 1st hearing. I checked with him on Tuesday and he is still waiting to hear from the appeals judge. I am praying almost constantly and trying to turn it over to God, but it's so hard! Did you get a letter from the judge with your denial? I went through it and highlighted the bold-faced lies (like the part where it said my husband make $200,000.00 a year - I wish!) And when I went to see the new attorney, we went through it together line by line, me sobbing the whole time. I will keep you in my prayers. Hugs, Alanna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Re: depressed I'm SO sorry Jena!!! My thoughts and prayers are w/you. Are you giving up or filing an appeal? W/a different lawyer..

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Jena, My idiot lawyer told me not to take any of my pain meds for a day before the hearing, so not only was I scared, but I was in so much pain that I thought I was going to faint any second. Nice, huh? Hugs, Alanna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Re: depressed Thank you Deta, my lawyer told me in the beginning that I had a good case and he would stick with me until I had it. so for now I guess that is what I will go. I am plainly going to tell him he had better not pull anymore tricks on me. I don't know about any of your ours that have fibro. but the further you push me in a corner the more I am like a scared kitten. and he will know this just as soon as I can talk to him but of course he is out of the office today.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Jena, GENTLE HUGS!!! I am so sorry this has happened. What is the plan, will the attorney go again. I bet some of the knowledgable and casring people on here can tell you what to do next. I am so disappointed with you BUT tomorrow starts a new day and the positive of this (and I am sure to you right now there doesn't feel like there is one) is that the longer it takes the longer they have to go back and pay you for. Am I right group? Plus you may already qualify for Medicare and not have to wait. I did after waiting and fighting for ever. Hang in there. Hugs, Subject: depressed To: Undisclosed-Recipient@...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Awww...man. That sux!! My judge was a total grouch and went thru hell waiting. I couldn't imagine loosing after all of that. Do they give you a rational? I know those letters contain lots and lots of words. I never read all of my letter. In fact I don't think I went past the first page. I wish I knew of some magic answer. I'm really sorry.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Alana, I haven't got my letter yet. I called the ss office and they told me. that is what my lawyers paralegal told me we would do. my lawyer had told me I would have to say nothing. and then when we got in the judges chambers he drilled like I was in there for murder. I knew I did bad. I don't know if it is the fibro or just everything together but if you back me in the corner my mind goes blank. and when I talk to my lawyer I am going to tell him that.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Jena, Did you ever ask him why he said one thing and did another? That would throw anyone for a loop. Plus it seems very unprofessional to me. I also don't understand why the attorney rather than the judge was asking you questions. Let me know when you get your letter. It will be interesting to see why the judge denied your claim. Quit beating yourself up - perhaps it had nothing to do with your testimony. I would seriously consider getting a second opinion. Meanwhile, be kind to yourself. Hugs, Alanna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Re: depressed Alana, I haven't got my letter yet.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I don't know about every AJ, but the one who officiated at my daughter's hearing last week told us that he doesn't ask questions of the litigants or witnesses.he allows the attorney to do the questioning.. So maybe it's up to the individual judge..

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Jena, Sounds like a good plan. Have a good weekend. Hugs, Alanna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Re: depressed I still haven't gotten my letter. I called Atlanta and they told me they were not allowed to tell me that information. and that I should have my letter by middle of next week. it seems everyone I have talked to has told me something different. Yes, I did tell my lawyer that I did NOT feel the hearing went well as I was not prepared for what he threw at me. he had told me one thing and done another. and he told me at the last minute he felt it would be better to go in that directions. ha! He also told me not to worry on that day that I had a case and we would get it and he would stick with me till we did. this is a out standing law firm and they do not take just any case. if they do not fill you have a chance at winning they will not even talk to you. so at this point I am not 100% that I didn't get it. I haven't seen it in writing. just what that 1 person said. " it looked like I might not have gotten it " . everyone else has said I am not allowed to tell you anything. so I don't know what to believe. I am just going to try my very best not to think about it over the weekend. and maybe by Tuesday I will know something. Jena Re: depressed I'm SO sorry Jena!!! My thoughts and prayers are w/you.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Ya know...I didn't think of the tricks.  I remember them in letters of denial before the judge visit...and they are truly a joke. It's not funny tho.  How xrays of parts not even part of the complaint were mentioned and so on and used as reasons for denial. I used to gasp at the blatant trickery.   My advocate was very familier with the tricks. She told me not to worry about them...she would make sure they didn't affect us. But I do know they do it. Yeah...go over that thing with a fine tooth comb.
