I know a lot about this. First off why are you on this board? Do you have a documented mental illness? If so it is necessary to write a statement about how this affects you and to give perm to your T to give info to SSD. It is absolutely necessary to appeal NOW. In terms of the pain have you tried lyrica? How old are you? Did you get special services in school if you are young? Be as detailed as you can and write a narrative like what I said above. PM me if you like.
