I...Honey, I know this must have been hard for you. It doesn't change anything.. it's just a label.. but it's a difficult transition to make. Just remember that it only has power if you give it power. For several years, my mother's health was declining and declining. I think depression spurred it on and made it even worse. She refused to admit she was handicap and ended up doing more harm to her body [trying to walk when she clearly couldn't.. broke her hip, etc.]. I think you're probably doing the best thing for yourself - however difficult. ::hugs::Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173945383482633147.post-66124635458658240292004-09-18T02:43:00.000-07:002004-09-18T02:43:00.000-07:00Brainfog sucks...I'm not registered disabled o...Brainfog sucks...I'm not registered disabled or anything but I have been ill for long enough now to know that in a way I am. My illness has affected my life so much and I cant do the things I used to love doing before I got ill. I did have a time when I mourned my losses and got angry about having lost them but now I make the best of things. Maybe my life has changed, maybe I am different but maybe it's not all bad. The aching, pain, fatigue and many other symptoms that I experience wont keep me from being happy...it's hard sometimes but I try my best. I hope things work out for you...best wishes, AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173945383482633147.post-19329009822830652932004-09-18T02:45:00.000-07:002004-09-18T02:45:00.000-07:00I do wish you well.

Hence, the reason an attorney is often needed. My father was not approved until his third request with an attorney and a series of doctor recommendations.

Just wanted to pop by and thank you for posting such kind and encouraging comments in my Journal, I really appreciate it.<br>What a fascinating read your Journal is. One of the things I love about Journals is that we get to dip into the lives of others - and find that although we may have differences, we are essentially the same. Human beings with cares and concerns. Many congratulations on getting your Journal featured by AOL, you have every right to feel excited and proud - I'll certainly keep reading!<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173945383482633147.post-59988292904309532632004-09-21T10:33:00.000-07:002004-09-21T10:33:00.000-07:00Margo, thanks for visiting my journal and leaving ...Margo, thanks for visiting my journal and leaving the very nice comment!
