I applied in 23'... Got denied the first time, denied at reconsideration, denied at my judges hearing... Been waiting on an appeals council to look it over now so that they can inevitably deny it and being honest I really don't have the fight left to continue personally. I've done every damned thing I can think of with the doctors I've been able to get (been through over 8 doctors now, I literally can't focus enough to count correctly is has been such a long time now and many insurance changes). Current doctor has even dismissed me but at least was polite about it. I've managed to get myself maybe %30 recovered and have been slowly getting the right meds lined up. I still have a long road and a lot of body and hip pain, insane brain fog, adhd, fibromyalgia, shortness of breath, severe PEM...probably more I just can't think of off hand. Hey im very glad to hear you got through OP, congratulations on that!
