I WENT THROUGH THE SSDI SONG AND DANCE AND I HAD TO GO TO 2 OF THIER DRS. ONE A NEUROSURGEON AND THE SECOND A NEUROLOGIST FOR 2 FAILED BACK SURGERIES.

I WAS DENIED THE FIRST TIME AND HAD TO GO IN FRONT OF THE MAGISTRATE AND AFTER A FEW QUESTIONS I WAS APPROVED.

I HAD NO ATTORNEY EITHER.ITS THERE WAY OF PLAYING GAMES,YOU'LL BE FINE.GO TO THEIR DRS.

I'LL SAY PRAYERS FOR YOU ALSO

Hi Deb,

I have also  been through the SSDI process, but it was for neck issues and myofascial pain syndrome.  I was never asked to go to any of their doctors, but was under alot of medical care at the time so they had lots of info.  I got denied and had to go before a judge.  Just me and my dad; I did not take an attorney, though I know lots do.  The judge asked me questions for about five minutes and said "approved".  Don't let the proces frighten you, it can be daunting.  I will also pray; God is good, all the time.  Amy

When I filed for SSDI, I was approved the first time, with no additional need for further medical evaluation.  I was one of the lucky ones.  Everything was so clear-cut for MS in all my testing, that apparently SS did not have any further questions.

What you are being asked to do, is not unheard of.  I would go through with the testing they request.  I know that you are nervous and I promise you...I WILL say a prayer for you.

Hang in there honey, we are all here for you...every minute...every step.
