Keep reapplying though. They do that in the hopes people will get frustrated and give up. If you have a doctor who will say you are disabled you are very likely to

get it. You may eventually have to hire an attorney but social security will actually tell you when it's time to do that. The attorney takes his/her fee out

of your disability benefits so it doesn't cost you anything out-of-pocket.

and anyone else applying for disability of any kind: It's very important to be well-organized and have copies of all of your lab tests, expenses, and anything else related to your disability, too. The better organized you are and the more documentation you have of your condition, the better the decisionmakers will be able to rule on your case. Yes, usually lupies are denied one or two times before being approved, but, again, you have to be ready for that, patient, and persistent. A lawyer who handles disability is a very good idea, particularly in the appeals stage (after you've applied and been denied at least once). The attorney's fees are capped by law, so you are protected in that way, too.

Good luck!
