had my SSDI doctor appointment today

That's terrible brother.  I hate so much all that this disease takes from us. 

I hate what people take from us because of the disease more than the disease itself.
Think about all the other disease in existence, many which SHOULD have moral condemnation attached,
and see that really only CFS/FM patients are treated, to put it nicely, like red headed stepchildren.
See, because I was unfortunate enough to contract this "syndrome" I deserve abuse, name calling, and trouble.
Think about it and tell me I am wrong.

When people ask me what is wrong with me that I'm unable to work, I have a hard time telling them fibromyaliga.  I go through everything else, then muddle out fibro.  I've seen the glazed over look when I start out with the dreaded "F" disease.  My BIL was telling me not too long ago he thought he had fibro.  Hell, he's 62, tries to go like he's 32, has arthritis, and wonders why he hurts some.  But it may be fibro as far as he thinks.  Also, the TV commercials about fibro drugs do a great dis-service to real fibro sufferers.  They are trying to market their meds to anyone with pain, and down play what this affliction really is.

Make me glad i went for a veteran disability pension instead of SSDI.

The VA had my medical records done by VA doctors and it only took me a month and  half to get approved.

It's sad when people decide that others mustn't be hurting because that would be horrible or that doesn't make sense, or because God wouldn't be blah blah blah...  whatever excuse they tell themselves to deny the torture that's happening right in front of them.  Often makes me want to hit them with a phone book... hard... and then explain to them how odd it is that they're lying there on the ground screaming when it's obvious that there's nothing wrong with them.

Bunch of sheeple if you ask me!!  It's like they've got nothing to say but baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Sadly most people do not understand chronic pain until they experience it themselves.

I can help them be in pain all the time and get my baseball (or mobster) fantasies satisfied at the same time.

Just got my denial letter yesterday, made an appointment with a lawyer for tomorrow morn.
They must have won SSDI for FM and be able to help me get the doctors and other help I need to win.
If they say they can't and I won't use them.....
This lawyer has a web page on FM so they MIGHT be able to help.

Be thinking about you tomorrow morning brother.  I hope that this is the one that you need to see!

  it works out and you get a good one and win when the time comes.

Signed a paper for him to get my SS file he claims he will use to see if he can represent me.
Sooo, he sounds like all the other professionals" in the game who so far have done nothing or nothing good for me.
I appealed the decision myself and was told it would be another 6-8 months to get that denial, and it will be like the
other 90% of the people: DE-NIED.
Gee, do ya think I could have told the government to wait 2 to three years for my SS money to be paid INTO the system?

Trying to make an appointment with a rheumatologist from a referral from a nurse at one of the local hospitals I emailed
though this nurse was a typical arsehole and suggested "cognitive behavior modification therapy".
If I hear that again I will tell them I will go get my baseball ball and beat them for five minutes, then THEY can see
how a therapist can help them with their pain.
THIS IS WHY I HATE EVERYONE IN THE MEDICAL FIELD!
worthless incompetents.....

(is this comment going to upset a poor old doctor so he won't take FM patients seriously? booo hooo!)
