Mihija, I'm not a Dr. but I know for sure that stressin out is only gonna make it worse. Stress makes sick people sicker....or ill people iller lol when I was ur age if u were ill that meant u were cool lol Anyway, mamita, u have to just puff some goody and chillllllllllllllllllllll let ur bf do all the worrying. You are a strong brave young woman but u need to be taken care of. Please mamita, try not to stress out.....The MonSter wants you to stress out. That makes him stronger. My oldest daughter in Fla. is 23 so if anyone's wondering I'M NOT TRYING TO GET WITH RICAN!!!!

Have you tried to file for SSI online? I believe it is possible. In the mean time, I'd line up a lawyer in case you are denied. Don't put the cart before the horse so to speak. You may get SSI without needing a lawyer.
Take care and I wouldn't go back to Puerto Rico if there is nothing there for you that could help you in some way.

Definitely get a disability lawyer. Unless things have changed they are only allowed to charge you a % of what you are awarded and there is a maximum on top of it. It's their job to get you on disability cuz that's the way THEY get paid.

Thank everyone..I just found out that I will be without a disability check for 4 damn months cuz I fall into pre-existing condition from my switch from short to long term dis so I'm screwed...the bright side is that now I can apply for Medicaid food stamps emergency assistance etc...bllahh today

Food stamps and Medicaid in the state of AL I just found out.... you need to make less than $164.00/ mo for a family of 3 to qualify. What a joke. Might as well live in a cardboard box.

BIG HUGS to you. I am there with you.....there is a way, I'm sure of it...I think.
