Interstitial Cystitis And Chronic Lung Disease & Ssi

Rate this question

Question

My wife has been being treated for chronic interstitial cystitis, a chronic infection of two different bacteria growing in her lungs, and now fibromyalgia (accompanies the interstitial cystitis) for over one year now. We filed for SSD and she was immediately turned down because the SSA said she would improve within one year. All of her problems are chronic and progressive by defination. So, go figure how SSA decided she would improve.

She has not worked since her intital hospitalization in August of 2006.

We have hired an attorney and filed an appeal. She is in constant pain, takes all kinds of meds and uses two inhailers daily. She is subject to relapses of lund disease at any time that basically leaves her bedridden for several day.

Her doctors (3) will not get involved with SSA, only send records of treatment without comments or recomendations.

Any suggestions or comments welcome.

HFS
