First off Good Luck!!! I have had all the appeals i can do and dont qualify for re- applying...all i can say is be honest about everything and have lots of back up from your doctor..what i mean by that is i didnt call the dr everytime i had a flare i have had this disease for so long i didnt see the point in telling him everytime but for ssdi the more u complained to your doc the better off u are....again good luck hope it works for you!
