Diagnosed SSD by DDS doctor.

I have had Crohns since age of 9, diagnosed at age 16 in 1988. One of the first military dependants to have a colonoscopy when it was only black & white images.

So I have over 30 years of documented pathological results, surgeries, bloodwork, etc with multiple autoimmune diseases. Been on so many meds, AND inhibitors to experimental drugs with just a number.

Anyways finally bit the bullet in Nov. and filed for SSD because have not been able to work since last August. Before surgery DDS sent a shrink for adult cognitive testing. Guess what found out he diagnosed with somatic symptom disorder. I am mentally ill! No they just wanted to deny me.

Oh are heads going to roll. Lawyer acquired! Battle armour on. Sticking it to them now. :ybatty:
