    Hi, New Member Here

    Hi, this is my first time here. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia my junior year in college right before I turned 20 I think. I'd been experiencing pain since high school but since I was always a dancer I always attributed it to pushing too hard in dance or being sore from practice. It wasn't...

    Anyone succesfully applied for Canadian Disability Tax Credit ?

    Being identified as officially 'disabled' by the CRA can substantially reduce one's taxes, depending on a litany of parameters and (deliberately ?) vague Hell-th Canada regs :evil: Has anyone here suffering from FM/CFS/IBS applied for this status ? If so, and you actually convinced them, for...

    Good or bad sign

    I received a letter from SS wanting me to go see a psychiatrist one last time before a determination is made. Should I take this as a good sign or a bad sign?

    Need to vent about...everything

    I have been handling my fibromyalgia diagnosis for about 3 months, along with the degenerative disc disease diagnosis that I received at the same time, pretty well. In September, I suddenly lost use of my left leg for unknown reasons. The best guess anyone gave for this happening was a nerve...

    Hearing

    Well it is finally over. I was surprisingly calm during the hearing itself but once I got home I fell apart. I can't believe what a huge relief I feel that this is all over and done with. So I was sitting in the hall and my attorney came out and got me. I went and spoke with the judge and...

    Tomorrow's the day

    Hi all, As most of you know my hearing before the ALJ is in the morning. I am super excited because I am so ready to get it behind me. The only thing that is troubling me is what I had mentioned in another post about my attorney. He never called my witness, he was supposed to call me every...

    Another question

    Does anyone know if you get turned down for social security disability by the ALJ can you file again and have any chance of winning? It would seem to me once the judge rules that would be the end of it but I have had people tell me to file again and see if you can win.

    Question

    Has anybody on this site had to go before an ALJ. If so did you make an attempt to do your hair and makeup (if you are female) or did you just roll out of bed, throw on some clothes and go to your hearing. On days where I don't have anywhere to go I don't even bother getting out of my pajamas...
