I agree w/sfwandow...it can take a year to process...and it seems most people are denied the 1rst time 'roundand then have to appeal...so if I were you i would start now.
Hope you have a nice weekend.

Since you now are having varices you will be able to get SSD. Go ahead and apply, your doctor will write a letter for you to help you get it. There is a 6month waiting period, then you will get your check the 7th month. If you have anymore questions, I'd be glad to help.

it is a variable disease, for most it is slow going but not for all. It sounds to me like you should be on lactulose for brainfog.  
And yes, apply for SSD. If you can get a lawyer, it may speed things up.
