    Social Security questions

    Hello all! First-time poster. I apologize for the pending text wall. I'll keep it as brief as possible. I've had fibro/chronic fatigue, plus a small slew of other problems, since I hit puberty. It was always bad, but it got progressively worse until I was about 22 (I'm 25 now). By the time I...

    Ignorance of People

    I've had autoimmune issues since I was 8 years old. I'm 34 now, so I've been 'sick' longer than I haven't been. It's a way of life and I can hide it pretty darn well.

    Cognition

    Has anyone had any cognitive testing? My rehmy had me take a test on Monday and it was really an eye opener. I am way below average in everything on the test (memory, memory recall, math, reaction time, logic etc). It proved to me why I am having such a hard time at work. I don't know if I...
