Hi there! I empathize with all of you and have been down this same road. I

filed and got disability last spring after a lengthy process.

I went through the initial filing and first rejection, filed the second time and

then had to do 3 doc visits - regular doc, psychiatrist and then was sent for

psych testing (all paid for by the state and they want you to be rejected so it

helps to know what to say and what they're going to ask; and how to direct the

psych visit). Anyway, my eval/testing took 3 hours and I failed miserably!!

After that I got a lawyer involved for the final piece. He was able to get me

disability for a number of things (all lyme related - CFS, FMS, severe

apnea/sleep disorders, etc.) and I don't think ever mentioned lyme. He was able

to avoid my actually having to go for a hearing - anyway, if you need help, let

me know.

Also, if you need a lawyer and are in land, please let me know. My guy was

wonderful! He's in a small firm so there was lots of personal attention. He's

an old friend, and now really gets the lyme diagnosis, which will shortcut

everybody else's trying to explain everything - he won't think you're crazy!!

Good luck, hope this helps.
