Good Morning

June 19, 2009

It's just that to me, on paper, I thought my condition was severe enough, in and

of itself. Oh well, no big deal. I'll just keep trying. I have always been a

physical person and enjoy actual labor and manual activities, but you are

correct, I do need to switch things up and use my brain. I have not read any

red or green book so I'm no expert. Although, maybe I should. I'm just

thinking about the question of having depression and brain " problems " . Maybe I

can use my brain to get diagnosed with some sort of mental problem. I have

studied psychology and would know what to overexaggerate. Nah, that's not me.

I could not and would not ever do such. Anyhow, what is the EMG testing that

you mention. I have not had it performed, nor have I ever heard of it.

SSD goes by severity.... the fact that you have a college degree means that you

can do work that is not physical...in other words you can use your brain to earn

a living,...the younger you are the harder it is to get SSD....I was 37 when I

was approved.... have you had EMG testing..... the things you listed in and of

itself DO NOT qualify for SSD UNLESS you are unable to ambulate.... read the red

and green book.

Hey Sue,

Today, I just received a letter from SocSec denying my disability claim. This

is only the first time, but my neurosurgeon thought that I would get it. Along

with my facet joint issues, I've have sciatica, DDD, osteoarthritis,

spondylolysis, central and foraminal stenosis, and a few bulges up and down. I

have not experienced any sweet cravings or pain as a result of weather. I'm not

diabetic, but I do have high blood pressure. I really don't like sweets

anymore. Sorry I can be of any assistance.

I'm trying to understand this SocSec issue. After telling them that I have

never been diagnosed with depression or mental conditions, nor do I take any

meds for it, they sent me this denial letter. Now, I'm questioning having not

answered in the affirmative. Even though I do have some depression, I have and

will never go to a doc for it. I don't want to be on meds to mess with my

head. In the letter, it presses the issue of performing substantial work, being

30 yrs, and having a college degree. It says that medical evidence shows

limitations, but that no other conditions would significantly limit my ability

to work. This is ridiculous! Why should I need to meet more than the

qualifying conditions with mental issues?

I would say the difference between now and this time next year is all

that we learn and put into practice in this year.learning about the

value of positive thinking, feeling and behave.. learning to live

consciously and to live in the here and now... If we learn some of this

in this year we will have learned a great deal

Because if you wait that long the effects of the levothyroxine will be gone, and

the tests will not show a high reverse T3 because the levothyroxine will be gone

or almost gone. It's the conversion or non conversion from the T3 that causes

the problem.

Now that I've been on T3 only for quite some time, there is no high Reverse T3.

That's what is

so infuriating to me. The doctors don't check it when they should, and if they

don't check for it when they should, it never gets seen and so they don't have

to address it, and their protocol.

That way they keep giving the patient the T4 and the patient still feels sick.

You've been off of it for two weeks now, and it probably won't show what was

going on for real at this time anyway. That's another thing, the doctors don't

care how long we have to wait for tests.

After all, it's not them that is ill it's us.

After reading what I wrote yesterday, it sounds crazy.

I've been off of the Levothyroxin for two weeks today, in preparation for the

radioactive test and scan that was canceled. Yesterday after some discussion

during which the endocrinologist did most of the talking, he said, " Stay off the

medication and let's wait a month for the blood tests. " I don't understand how

it went from let's do it now, to let's wait a month in a span of a few minutes.

Since I would only have to be off the medication three weeks for the uptake test

and scan, why would I wait six weeks from the time I stopped taking the

medication for further blood work to check FREE T3, FREE T4, and REVERSE T3? I

have primary and secondary insurance.

Thanks,

Barb

You're right Roni. I called the office today and asked how when to have the

blood work done changed from let's do it now, to wait a month. The nurse

checked with the doctor, called back and said he wants to make sure it's out of

my system. When I told her I'd already been off of the meds 2 weeks, the doctor

said wait three more. So, I guess after five weeks they think it will all be

gone.
