I would first like to say. from what I have learned from the SSDI process. it should not take more than 60 day's for a descision not 6 months..(but I could be wrong on this)

As far as smoking I was told by my doctor and the leagle aide lawyer. that if I quit smoking I would have a better chance for SSDI. well that is just total crap I refuse to give up the one ting I can still do. just so I could get SSDI.. Smoking should not have a thing to do with weather or not you are eligable for SSDI.. If you are disabled you are disabled.. Plain and simple..

I can truely understand how you are feeling I was born poor and I remain poor to this day..All I have ever wantted is to just make enough to get by on.. I am getting to the point I am tired of begging for what is rightfully mine I worked for it I deserve it. If I could continue to work you darn right I would be working.. Instead of sitting here hurting feeling like I am 90 with no life instead of 36..

I am not going to preach to you because I truely do understand how you are feeling..

If you need someone to talk to PLEASE email me I would be glad to talk with you..

-- thanks for your answer

things here are still in standstill. i, went for my hearing, like i, said its in the hands of the judge now, and depening on him, becouse he is new and no one knows how he works. it could take up to six months to get a decission from him.he seemed very threrough, and very medical educated. but he was also very bias when it came to my smoking. like it was the worse thing in the world..what the norm public does not realize. is i've given up my entire lifestyle. i've given up who i, am. i, can no longer go and be who i. am. in 5 almost 6 years, i've become a mer shadow of the pewrson i, once was. and if i, smoke then let me smoke.i, cant live my life my way anymore. i, no longer have the freedom to go and come as i, please. i, no longer, can just go for a walk or go to the beach whitout add, due to the dd, and using a walker. i, have people left and right stepping on my feelings, to have a judge do so as well. well i, really dont expect much else these days.i've had enough drs. do it.i, was gonna call legal aidd today, but it is a holiday. i, will try agin tomorrow.we also got notice this week that our mortage has been bought by another company. and one wonders if that may be reason.it is so crule to me to lose your home becouse you have been late on rent payments to a mobil home community, oh, if one had the money one could pick up and move ones trailer.anyway, i, will try tommorow when it is not a goverment, holiday. that maybe. i'll get some help someware. but right now, i, dont hold much hope, or faith for mankind. and i, dont mean to sound mean. its just. i, feel very let down. by those that i, had been taught to relay on. becouse it is those who, are in power who have let me fall the hardest.i've had nurosurgions, pain clinic specialest, tell they could do nothing for my pain. those that own the properties in which i must rent from. becouse i, was not born rich or smart, yet born into poverty and abuse, throw me out of homes on technicalities and whims. jobs that where lost becouse of poor education. i, dont blaim sociaty, yet i, have lost faith within its structuted halls.the very worst though is to be treated with disrespect by anyone with an ounce of authority. becouse they have no idea, of the person with the file they are talking to. they have no respect for those who do not meet there level of standards. and frankly i, am tired of dealing with it. my hearing date was to be my decision date, in all truthfulness. on wheather i, was going to continue to put up with this crappy world.eaither i, wonthe right to my social security to help repay my way through life. or i, was gonna end this life that isn't worth the daily upkeep. that my husband works himself sick to keep going. oh let me guess. everone here thinks i'm wrong now. right.maybe, for you i'm wrong. but not for me. i'm past the word of tired, i'm past the word of pain. its all jambeled up insid now. every ounce of it.every face that has turned away from me in sham, disgust, or contempt, becouse i, a middle age women, who sits here all day. and can not give back to her community, or family . her share or contribution. or make her way through this world. yet dares to ask for the money she worked for in ss. to support her through the hard times.i, hurt, very deeply. and i, fear there is no hope left.yet, i, am wrong and judged to even think as i, do this way. what do i, do? where do i, go? and to whom do i, request help?and dont tell me God, for the higher beings have far tougher jobs on thier hands these days then to bother with the likes of a mere mortal woman. far-far, too many world-wide ae in more need then i. i, am nothing, i, am nobody.1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.Have a nice day everyone.

Hi all. I am new to the ring, but feel I should reply to the ssdi thing. I am a smoker also and receive SSDI for my FMS. I also know that it is very hard to get SSDI. It can take several months for them to complete their analysis. Then they may send you to meet with one of their doctors. It was the most trying 4 months of my life!!!

When all is said and done, they tell you they will re-evaluate in a few years. I just went through the re-evaluation and even though nothing has changed over the past few years, I was still as stressed as the first time around.

I am truly happy to have found this group. I was really starting to believe that I was the only one with FMS that is unable to work or for that matter even stay awake all day.

Thanks for the support!!
