What are the rules for getting SSD? Can I be working part time from home (cannot get into an office anymore) and still qualify? Photogjackiie

just had a PFT yesterday and my FVC is down to 64%. I am being referred to the National Jewish Hosp. here in denver. its my guess that i may be fitted with a bipap and a feeding tube and seeing a speach pathologist. wish me luck guys. and just a side note, i was denied on my social security...

I know what the doc said is most likely right.. She watched me walk and did knee reflex. My legs swung way out. She had students following her so im not sure if she wanted to get a quick diagnosis to show off they do have big egos... She didnt run mri or anything. Since my diagnoses ive gotten...

Hi all, It's been a while since I've posted here. My wife is still progressing at an extremely slow rate and so far it's still only in her right leg as far as she can tell. A few weeks ago she said she couldn't be sure but a muscle in her left leg might be "missing" She did say it could be...

I was wondering what patients do before they get diagnosis. Isn't it hell? I mean there are so many other things that mimic ALS and it must cost a lot of money how do people get a diagnosis? I've spent my entire life savings and lost all my family and friends. I have nothing to live for these...

Hello all.... Some of you have read about my situation as far as testing I've had done and the findings by Wright of my EMG. So far it's still speech issues with me. My question is...how bad does your symptom/s have to be before a person is able to put in for disability? I'm not looking to...

Its been hard for awhile, but i cant do it at all. I woke this morning and my alarm to the left went off. I went to hit snooze with my right arm which requires a full swing.. i couldnt at all..... coupled with teenage boy serious issues i have lost my inner strength again. When my mom and...

I have been at war with SSI. It is the craziest thing I have ever seen in my life. We have the diagnosis. We have all the testing. We have the orders for the cough assist and ventilator (which Michael has a loaner from the ALS closet), but we can't get disability. Uhhh, lets see Michael - take...
