      Guided Meditation works quite well. I have a tape with a woman talking through the phases such as tightening and releasing large muscles, counting backwards from 500, and visualization. I have also found my hobby of making beaded jewelry to be quite relaxing.

      From nnyl1 March 13

      Good Luck on your appeal setting. You were denied SSDI when you applied at 54? Did they give a reason? Did your docs approve and support your application? I am approved for SSDI. But every three years they do require a Continuing Disabilty Form to be filled out where you sign that you ar still as affected as when you applied. Well I don't work anymore, I am much better for that reason alone!!! I admit I get nervous of the CDR form & I believe I will continue to be nervous about it until I turn 50. I had read that's when it is "safe for disability". When it is not questioned anymore.I sign the CDR form, that I'm still as affected as when i was awarded disability. I'm still taking medicine for MS and my MRI's still show MS. But not working & having some security makes me much less affected than I was. Were you given any reason on you denial? Are you working with a laywer? Is you doc supporting yo in your claim? Thanks. Be Well. Lynn
