i just dont seem to be able to get on here as much as i would like, sometimes i feel theres no one who understands, the bone pain is so bad and the depression is getting worse,theres no way i can go back to the job i was doing,so were struggling horribly with only one income, i was told to apply for temporary disability, then other people say forget it you'll never get it for ostioporosis even as bad as mine is, i feel i abandoned my family, i try to do things i use too, but it doesnt work out very well,at 45 yrs old i should be working and enjoying my family, i feel im letting everyone down...i smile for everyone, but there empty i dont want to lose everything we have worked so hard to get. maybe tomorrow will bring a little more sunshine than today, thanks to everyone for listeningWink

    I'm so sorry you are not feeling well. I understand the bone pain. Sometimes it can be nerve pain near or arond the bone. In either case I know what you mean. Sometimes my ribs and spine just burn and my ribs are very painful to even a light touch. I think you should talk with a law firm and your doctor and see what they think in regards to disability. I have osteoporosis ( with many fractures) and was successful with my SSD case with the help of a law firm specializing in disability cases. It was a very rough road and took a year and a half, but in the end it worked out.
    So sorry you are having such a difficult time.
    Hugs, Fred.
