I too suffer with partial bowel obstructions with having 2 major repairs in
may 2007.I cannot digest red meat and constantly constipated.I was just
denied SSD and had to obtain the services from an attorney. My life is
horrible I don't socialize because most of the time I am not feeling well,
and I have exhausted all my finances recently I had to apply to welfare,
food stamps etc.. Because of this disease I have lost my job, social life
and am trying everything not to lose my home. What did you do to be approved
for SSD
?
Thanks
