Looking for advice.

...See more Hello all, I am a new member. I found you because I have been hunting around trying to find a place to just get some leads! My mind is fuzzy and it is hard to string thoughts together at times. I also tend to be long winded, hah.i will try to keep this short. The situation I have filed for disability 3 times. I have not worked since 2019 when I was terminated due to frequent absences. I was just denied, and am about to file the appeal for this 3rd filing. The concern I am 45. I have a bachelor's. My previous work was in software solutions engineering. The judge in my first round pretty much said that I am young and educated and can still contribute to society. Second go round they said I didn't have a lot of records with "real" evidence showing instability. So since I was stable I should be able to work. What I am looking for? > what, if any, is the best specialty of doctor to see specifically to help with my disability claim? > what, if any, is a medical test or evaluation that I should try to have done for my circumstances? (Will list below) Would this be possible you think? > I currently live in state B, with my husband and son. I was born in state A. Our family property (4 generations) is in state A. My mother and younger brother are disabled. I have seen the family doc there off and on over my life. I go home every year. I intend to spend the next couple of months in state A, because of my health, I will have to have a local doctor. Now, in state B, all my doctors are part of one medical organization and they are very.... "it is only our way, we are God's of medicine". Anyway, their policy is not to write anything claiming disability for patients. They don't want to be involved in that. So flat out my docs won't support my claim. But, the family docs in state A feel differently. They might be willing to actually document opinions, impressions and suggestions. Is it possible to offer medical records from another state with a note from that out of state doctor? My current (as I can remember) diagnosis > Genetic: connective tissue disorder ------ brother got the dx of Marfans in the 80s, but when I had my daughter evaluated early 2000s she got Ehlers Danlos > Fibromyalgia > Chronic fatigue > Chronic Pain > IBS > degenerative disc's, narrowing, spurs, arthritis, compound fracture, blood vessel tumor thing - so back issues > malformed lft hip joint (congenital) > Raynauds > idiopathic neuropathy > TMJ > Trigeminal Neuralgia > plantar fascists > insomnia > PTSD (with unresolved trauma) > generalized anxiety disorder > major depression And, I have completely shut myself down. Completely, isolated. I have not a single individual outside a family circle that I can name as a friend. I am not a member of any group, club, organization, etc. I get no support from my husband. I had started attending group therapy, DBT. But there was an issue at the office and it disbanded. I have now lost my train of thought. I hope this is enough information for someone to have some thoughts or ideas for me? If you have any questions please let me know! Cheers

...See more Wooooo! Boy, I really hope ya'll aren't fitments of my imagination or those bots that have mastered all those picture verification tests! Although, at this point, I will take what I can get! I am so pleased to have found you. My name is Erica and I am 45 years old. I have 2 adult children from my first husband (divorced). I have a 3rd grader with my current husband, 3rd times the charm, right? Though there are currently troubles in paradise. You'll be seeing a rant in whatever relationship thread is most appropriate! I am a widow from my 2nd husband. All throughout my adolescent years my family moved around the states. By age 15 I had lived in 5 states, a dozen cities and had learned some tough lessons that had shaped my ability to create and maintain relationships. I have been out of work since 2019, been denied 3 times for disability. I have a lot of illnesses. I also have some mental issues like PTSD, major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, etc. Most recently I have been involved in a DBT program. I recently got a puppy, his name is Oscar. He is very smart. I am struggling to get him trained... sigh. I actually need some advice, so I am going to hit up the other threads that are more focused on those matters, like disability, relationships, parenting, menopause (shiver)... and others I am sure! I really look forward to meeting you all and wish you all a good day.
