                        Hi!  Have you applied for SSD and been denied?  You (and your dr.) have to be persistant.  SSD regularly denies apps. on the first try -- it's their way of weeding outt those who don't really need it.  23 years ago, I was (mis)diagnosed with MS and told to go on SSD and, when I was denied I told my dr. that I was going back to work.  He told me not to and to reapply, which I did.  I had to see a couple of the govt's drs. and was finally given the SSD.  Now it turns out that I don't have MS but, what I do have is so far undiagnosed so I,m lucky that I got the SSD with a clear diagnosis.  Just be patient -- and persistant.  Good luck.     Jane
