Indeed, you don't need any more problems.

You don't have issues, you have lifetime subscriptions.

Since I haven't updated this in a while, figure it is about time. I had a hearing scheduled for mid-June. However my lawyers dropped me about a month before the hearing (that is what I get for using the internet to get a lawyer). However, thanks to some friends, was able to find a local lawyer willing to take m case even with the little time left before the hearing. The first thing he did was schedule a test that would show how bad my back i and how it would affect my ability to work (omething my original lawyers had never told me about). This test showed that, at most, I can stand up to 2 hours a day and sit up to 6 hours a day, which pretty much was right alog with what I had found out on my own.
At the hearing, the expert on disabilities even told the judge that with the estrictions shown in the test that there was no way I could be gainfully employed.
Unfortunately I was again denied disability, mainly do to the judge interpretting the day listed in the test results as an 8 hour work day. My lawyer decied to appeal based on the fact that the judge's decision did not agree with the test results.
As far as my back health, it is still not good and per haps has even gotten a little worse since the last ime I updated this thread (although it may just be due to weather changes). My depression, however, seems to be doing much better, even with the disability denial. I think it is in part because the doctor at the local free clinic has found the right med for me (and I can't praise that doctor enough ashe seems to really care about each of his patients more than most doctors I have seen before) and the fact that my friends and family hve done a lot to keep my spirit up. And since my older brother has moved back to the area and we have started playing pen-and-paper RPGs again, have a little moreto do each week than just laying around my apartment and reading.

Hey, glad to hear that the meds crap shoot finally came up a winner. Wish the legal crap shoot would for you, though.

So, the result of all this testing was to determine that you need more tests? That sucks.

Love and blessings to you! For sure you'll stay on our prayer list! :x:

Have been trying to be a gutless wonder but both parts seem to be inverse. The wonder part is working for us. Me and the docs keep wondering what's not right with the guts. I would often like to be gutless but that part isn't working either. For quite a while they've been looking down my throat and up my address finding nothing missing or extra. I don't think they trust me as they just decided to keep and stair at me for a few days and attempted to turn me into a marionette. First time they saw what I feel :eew: but not what or where. I'm starting to think we should be in the eye department as they still can't see anything. :sad:

Keeping the 3 of you in thoughts and prayers.

Hope all of you feel better soon!!

Yup.

Hang in there, fellow Pixies! I'm sure you'll all soon return hale and in rude health!

update
 

they have found all tests normal and have found no reason why i blacked out. . the doctor basically said welcome to the 50% as 50% of all blackout cases they find no reason for it. I have to go to the cardiologist as i had an abnormal rhythm and they are concerned so doing an ultrasound and stress test. He is worried as mom had heart attack at the age of 45.. he asked me if i was worried i said no it was 30 years ago. He said he was concerned i said fine you worry for me.. lol


Rhiannon

Wait, isn't worry & stress one of the contributing factors in heart attacks?

not working right now.. so strike one. yes stress is always around but i do ok.
i m on high blood pressure meds but not all the time per the doctor. so no not really worried. just tired of all the tests
