Tonya, I recommend you get a FULL copy of ALL medical records you have. Look through them. But while you're doing that, change your hat from fibro sufferer to a judge who is trying to make sure he's not going to be questioned about his judgement on your case. Look for anything in your documents that may hinder your case. Also, be sure that your records are consistent with showing that your pain is documented. If you have lost time at work, or have lost your job due to attendance, be sure you have those records too. Hope this helps.

While you are going thru an attorney, be sure your doctors are on the same page. Proper historic records are the key and some hearing judges just don't think fibromyalgia is real. So if you have an additional ailment, you should claim both. Make sure you visit the E.R. as needed. The more hospital visits you have the better it looks. Keep trying, don't downplay your condition or pain. The nervous breakdown needs to be mentioned in the report as well. Keep us posted and good luck.

Hire a lawyer they only charge a fee if u win the case, the maximum fee by law is $6,000, it will come off your disability payment. I tried 3x's myself, it is very draining, first time with the lawyer and I was awarded disability, find a reputable firm that specializies in diability cases. Keep on trying, good luck!

you have to keep trying. i was turned down twice, finally got an attorney and they approved me, it's well worth getting an attorney. everyone i have spoken with say once the got an attorney they were approved. keep trying
