Lost my appeal to my application denial on SSDI.

They acknowledged my disabilities but still feel that an employer can accommodate my migraine issues and fibromyalgia issues and I can can continue to work as a computer operator.

Well, I sure wish they would tell that to folks that I've applied for the 67 jobs to. I have had NO call backs      from any of them. I've changed my resumes and had an expert look over my resumes and have made an honest attempt to find a job. I've even looked at lower paying jobs and jobs out of state.

Workman's comp has paid for the damage to my knee    so now I have wear a band around my knee to keep the patella from the femur or it pinches. I'm also doing physical therapy as well for it. So add another 1/2 a day in physical therapy. What employer is going to allow my coming to work at 10 in the morning every day?

My hubby has been TOTALLY denied by SSDI so we are taking his out of state to try again and seeing if he has better success somewhere else with more compassionate people. He will be in the same state his family doctor is in.

I've submitted my records to a lawyer and hope he'll take my case. Cause if he does take it, then I'm confident I'll win. He only takes cases when he feels confident he can win it. He's a really nice guy. He also does workmans comp and may help with my newest malady .... carpal tunnel syndrome.

My orthopedic surgeon wants to do the work (I love him *G*) but we are waiting for approval from workmans comp to accept the injury as job related. I guess working on computers for 20 years doesn't count.

I've run out of unemployment money. Even though the pamphlet they give you says it lasts 52 weeks, don't believe it. Mine lasted 6 months. BUT Micron gets an extension because their jobs went overseas!!! Now why can't I get an extension since I'm basically in the same field? Just gives me more to compete with. Just doesn't make sense.

Soooo... now that the cold weather is upon us, headaches are as well. Found the greatest little sun glare fighter for my car. The visor extends out to the side and there is a sun shield the extends down to reduce the glare. I got it a Dr. Leonards and it works great!!! That should help cut down my migraines quite a bit.

I guess my next step is to get a job. I'll have to go down to unemployment and see what they can find for me. Meanwhile, come December, we will be without insurance for the first time in 20+ years.

But I have plans for that as well *G*

Peace and Love to you all!!!!
