I feel okay again today. That makes 6 straight days of a pretty even to up mood. Thanks to Cymbalta.

Denise26, I got SSDI on my first appeal. I think they don't really look at your case, they just kind of deny everyone on the first try to see if they'll give up. But my case was so compelling (my doctor's letters especially), that 2 months after I appealed, I got it. Now I can pay my share of rent and groceries...which I hadn't been able to do since I can only handle about 1 day of work per week. So from the time I applied to the time I was accepted was August '09 to May '10...9 months. Don't give up hope. The most important part is what your doctors have to say about your ability to function in life due to your illness(es). I have bipolar and PTSD and anxiety issues. If you ever have any questions about the process, just let me know. Pulling for you
