So sorry to hear about the SS messup. Read about it in your other thread.
I remember when my pain levels were so bad I never got more than an hour of sleep at a time. Being tired makes everything more difficult to handle.
I hope your pain levels get better, and that you can get some good sleep soon. So important.
I dont' have anything in the way to offer for advice with the SS, but will keep you in my prayers that something big will change soon.

Sorry you are suffering, but you CANNOT get behind the wheel of a car if you think you are putting other peoples lives in danger.
Apply for welfare and food stamps if you have to and get less expensive housing. I did, so I am not telling you about anything I don't know about.

Basicly I am not behind yet but I know my budget,it won't stretch more than 6 months more.
Normal time to a hearing here 2 years.
Thats 1.5 years past my budget.
I cant even be a greeter at Walmart ,the chems in there from the auto shop set off my interstitial cystitis.
I am still waiting on my hearing date I havent yet got the date set.
That is up to the lawyer now,he should have sent it in last week,but we had the so called holiday jammed in there,took a mailing day out of it.
Columbus day???? he wasn't even an american ,didn't fight in the revolution.He just found a continent ,that the vikings had already been to.
So we give him a day out of our lives??????

Just found out,no medicad,no welfare money,they count my IRA against me,and then the IRS may want me to pay penalties and taxes out of it .
That is my money I am living on.
Hey the IRS and Chase bank can fight over my home in the spring.

Just wanted to say that I am sorry for what you are going through.
I wish I had answers.
Praying for you....

Im sorry Maddog. THe system is so screwed up! I agree with the above about applying for foodstamps and housing. Isn't it ironic that the government won't give you BACK YOUR money for SSDI, but then it makes you turn to government money for foodstamps and all.
Anyways, do what you can. It does get impossible to work. I am in a tiny tiny house now, my son has to sleep on the couch. But oh well. I could be homeless... so just do what you need to do to downsize. I hope someone will help you do this. It's a process that's not easy too. You can apply online now for foodstamps which helps.
Maybe one day we will all be better, but until then we have to do what we have to do just to survive.

Maddog, do you have any equity in your home? Can you sell rather than let them take it back and you lose everything?
Keeping you in prayer, and so glad you have the resources for another 6 months. That's a blessing.

Hi Bettyg I really don't know what my doctors wrote SS.
I left them complete records of what I told SS so they new what to put down.
Hi Sammy My sleep problems are from interstitial cystitis pain problems,keeping me awake. I have had every treatment for it and all failed.
TC Not much room left in this small place for anyone unless I finish the up stairs room.$$$$$$
Melodymaker I have equity left but all the abandoned homes arround here are draging domn my value,this is a very depressed area. Two of the homes are worth like 250.000 bucks,who can buy them.
One of them is going to fall down some day,it was built in a swamp,and the redneck county let them do it.And the property owners association let them build it .Act like you have money and you can do what you want.
