Ok I must really jump in at this point--you all are just being petty and
nasty. Just for everyone's information let me point out a few things:
1. It's hard enough to get SSI disability when your chronically ill without
having people tell you your faking or lying. It's a 24/7/365 effort. The
only exception is if your dying. Than the whole process can take as little
as 3 weeks.
2. Someone please explain the logic to me--you pay into SSI from each pay
check. That money is supposed to be there to help you if you need it or to
help with your retirement. But if you need the money-you have to fight for
it. Not only do you have to fight for it--but you have to hire a lawyer.
And the government can tell you no you can't have any of the money because
you don't look sick or you can't get medical benefits because you don't look
sick enough to qualify for SSI disability. But you need the money for meds
or medical treatment in order to get well enough to go back to work. Very
nice little catch 22.
3. The judge in these cases can drag it on for years. requiring test,
specialist and evaluation after evaluation. He than reads all the reports
that say your very sick and shouldn't be working--or you need retraining to
work in a different field so you can possibly go back to work. Than he
looks at you and decides that you don't look sick and denies you claim.
Another very nice catch 22.
4. There isn't a single person in this group that can judge how much pain
someone is in nor how much energy a person has. Simple fact. Not a single
one here is in the other persons body, feels how that persons body handles
that pain or lack on energy. Nor does everyone handle pain in the same
manner. Some of us are in pain 24/7/365 to varying degrees. Some day worse
than others. We get up and go about our business, sometimes over taxing our
selves and causing a flair up. Sorry fakes it's a fact of life. Unless
your in my body you have no earthly idea what I'm actually feeling. And by
the same token you have no earthly idea how frustrating it is to be told
your faking it because one day you have the energy of a buzz saw and the
next it hurts so much to even blink brings tears to your eyes. Such is the
day to day life of a CFS or Fibro suffer. Throw in nasty little things like
degenerative arthritis, Lupus, IBS, or heart problems--and it ain't no
picnic.
5. Some people feel better when they talk about their illness and how it
effects their day to day life. Others-like me--don't. It merely adds to
the frustration and depression of what we can no longer do or enjoy.
Whatever works for that person is what they should do. And if your tired of
hearing about, don't listen or read the post. You know it's kinda like the
grand mother that is always talking about the grand kid. Every conversation
goes back to that grand kid--when you get tired of it you quit talking to
them. Do the same here.
Enough said.
