Dercums and disability

Hey everyone! I found it easier to let you all know this way rather than attempt to send individual notes. I GOT MY COURT DATE FOR MY DISABILITY!!! YEAH! :wink: Jan, 4th. I have been waiting for over 2 years! Pray for me now that I get it. I am considered on life support being on oxygen and I have waited a long time. Maybe it helps to have a lawyer who has MS and is willing to really fight for you. I am soooooooo excited finally. I am very close to loosing everything I have because I haven’t worked in almost 2 years now. take care, hugs to all, linda

Let me know how it goes…I just applied for mine…I had applied last year but thats when I thought it was arthritis…This time I reapplied and have the correct diagnosis( and got an attorney)…Good luck…I am in the same boat as you…

Hey ladies!

Finished all my dr visits and psych ordered by SS and am awaiting my initial determination - was taking odds on how long it would take to get denial ltr. I have an an attorney and all but the dr barely touched me (except to grab my ankle and hurt me). Didn’t exam for neuropathy in hands or even discuss. Was the craziest exam ever had by dr. and he obviously hadn’t educated himself on the conditions I had.

So I say that we put a lot of positive thinking out there for everyone applying that at we get approved for our DD. As far as I have heard the ones that have DD and have been approved have gotten it on their other conditions.

Youwould think with the people already on disability for DD that the government would learn what DD is…I am going to go armed with all the stuff I can print out on DD and my own records from my Dr…Maybe that will help… but definitely the printouts…I wish that everyone could geta diagnosis from Dr Herbst but even that would not be enough…the government wants you to pay it in but they dont want to give it back…

I am short tempered and when I got more forms to fill out today I was so mad and I put a copy of Dr Herbsts’ article in it and told the woman to read it and see how my freakin life has changed!!! I may have dont a boo boo but I am tired…
