I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You should wait on the lawyer until you have first been denied. If you start with a lawyer and you get approved you still have to pay the lawyer.
So go to your local Social Security office and apply, then if you get denied, get a good disability lawyer. Just remember you will pay that lawyer something. It will most likely come out of back pay from your SSD monies.
Good luck.
You are newly diagnosed, this is overwhelming, I know. Talk to your doctor about your pain, there is no reason for you to suffer. They should help you figure out the cause and treat it accordingly.
I was DXed in 2000 at age 29. I went through a period of depression and fear, but my life is anything but miserable. I have bad days, but then again, I did before I ever had symptoms. Stick around, we'll help however we can. Be well- Jen
As far as SSD goes, seek an attorney. Its worth the money.
I am on Paxil to help with my anxiety and has been a life saver, not just for me but my family too. Not everyone reacts well to Zoloft.
I waited till i was denied. The lawyer was helpful in organizing and support. basicly the MRI s prove the illness but it is the inablitity to work you have to show - fatique, memory, confusion, Physical probs, = inability to maintain any sustained activity etc. Goodluck
