Capt Deb,
My attorney told me that here in Texas, they actually encourage you to try to work . I worked before my surgery, fulltime. As a matter of fact I was an area supervisor and worked sixty-five hours a week on a slow week! Even if you show income, they take into consideration what you are capable of doing now campared to what you did before. You have constant pain. I think your pain doctor needs to write a letter to SS. I also hounded the SS office. I told one guy I was gonna be dead before they ever got around to hearing my case. I told him that I had nine perscriptions and if I took half of each bottle they wouldn't have to worry about setting a hearing date for me because I certainly would be out of my misery. I think they record the calls we make, that was about three weeks ago.......................
If I were you I'd call them and ask them if you have to pull the car over to the side of the road to give yourself your Imitrex shots or can you do it while you are driving in heavy traffic with a train wreck migraine? Good luck. We all know what we are capable of and I don't any one of us don't want to work. I would much rather be working than be falling over and getting myself all bruised and banged up.....it is just so much fun having all these broken bones and dislocated shoulders!
