I’m With You
Welcome back hun, So glad to hear that your SSI is getting closer. I am at the court appeal process now, I need to send in information that proves a hardship and then they will expidite it"maybe". God this is a messed up process! Thanks for your condolences regarding Jasmine, She was always a very special part of our family and we miss her everyday. Everynight we go to bed we miss her stealing her space between us,lol. Great to hear from you again,please keep in touch.Always friends...Lots of gentle hugs,Christine
Little Love
Hi Mary, Great to hear from you! I haven't been online much the last few months. The pain is beter bit the overwhelming fatigue never goes away.
Good luck with your SSDI case. Since you have a lawyer you should win. It sure is sad how they force you to fight for the meager amount you get each month.
Hugs,
Rhonda
Good Luck
I haven't been on line either lately because of personel issues so I know where your coming from. Hope everything works out for you

MRI showed degenritive disks and also sciactia nerve problems. I have tried many things to get relief. Im beginning to think that I will never get relief from what ever is wrong with me.
