Sorry I have been away. Our computer has been acting up and we don't always have internet anymore. I am finally on the WA state ABD program and had my phone interview with Social Security yesterday. My MRI shows DDD, Spinal Stenosis, and Thoracic Outlet. I also have a lot of arthritis. It is not surgical and so I have to go do another nerve conductive test and probably have cortisone injections. My mental health status is FRIED. I have had two people close to me commit suicide and my Dad had a brain tumor removed and is going through chemo and radiation. I am in pain all of the time now, the meds just take the edge off. I can not take anymore or it will make me sick. I have a great sensitivity to medicines. I would like to at least leave a positive note: I still have a roof over my head and food on the table and that is a lot more than some people do. I am grateful for my new medical insurance and pray that I may be approved for disability. Hope to be back soon!
