I amin so much pain that I have had to accept the fact that I have this teribble type of two different arthitis RA & OA. I hurt from my head to my toes. My walking is starting to get slower and more labored, My fingers hurt I am trying to keep working but its getting harder and harder to do. I applied for ssi when I was first told that I have this years ago they turned me down flat. I wish they had to go through
this I bet they would sure enough approve me getting ssi then. I hurt so bad that I cry sometimes with the pain, the stiffness, the soreness, the swelling.lately I wish I had an aid to help me walk on flat ground, I have to climb stairs its a nightmare. I have to go so slow. I am afraid I'll fall We live in a 2nd story apt.When I go out with my family they tak e
off and leave me behind. My life has became a nightmare.
I push myself most days to work a part time job as a cook
in fast food. At this time I just don't know what to do.View Thread

Today and it's been an all day and night event my hands, fingers, knees have hurt me. I have this cough that I can not explain. my eyes are bothering me too. I just feel like it's time to stay home. I can not afford a lawyer. do'nt have any money to live on. So I need my
SSI. I can barely keep food on the table and me working.
I was wondering if anyone out there knows about getting this
without all the redtape.View Thread
