I have been turned down by social security. Most family and friends have given up on me. They think I am crazy or lazy. My teeth are rotting out of my head from medication. I can not afford dental insurance. I can barely afford medicine. I know people who are not in as much pain that have been approved for social security. If you live with someone and are not married you make out much... http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/69401/45815/fibromyalgia http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/69401/26655/sec-district Thu, 01 May 2008 09:32:30 -0400 daisymay right now all i can think about and worry about is soc sec.  has anyone gone to final appeal without a lawyer and if so, do you have any tips,information or anything that would be helpful to prepare me.thanks,daisymay http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/69401/26655/sec-district http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/69401/26355/delaware Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:23:15 -0400 daisymay I used legal aid.  Now I am at the final stage where you have to go to the supreme court.  I spoke to one lawyer who would not take my case.  Does anyone know a lawyer that would take a case that is a the last and final stage?  I have been declined everytime I applied so far.  Thanks, Daisymay   (Legal Aid would not go any further with my case.) http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/69401/26355/delaware http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/69401/24092/workingjobset Thu, 03 Apr 2008 13:28:00 -0400 daisymay I would like to know any jobs that people with Fibromyalgia and chronic pain have been able to do. I have not been working for 7 years and was turned down for social security.  Money is very tight with only one income, plus Dr. and medicine bills. Any job ideas would be great.
