scarysanity"I stumbled across MDJunction in late June of 2012 by accident while reearhing Anxiety infrmation. MDJ has become a haven for me during my darkest days, yet has allowed me to reach out and help others through my experiences. I have found so many wonderful people/friends here on MDJ. Without it I would not be the person I am today!" (scarysanity)

I never really knew if my primary dr thought if I was disabled or not. I mean she treats me and all of that. She is cooperative with social security but doesn't do the whole thing with them. Well, I went to pick up my paperwork for my handicap plaquards today, fully expecting a temp. pass. NOPE. Fully disabled. I made a copy of it. At least I know what she thinks!

I am glad that she is standing behind you. It sure makes you feel good to know that you have your doctors in your corner.

I got the feeling my doctor thought he was just indulging me when I asked for one. Up until then I thought he was really listening to me. He signed the paperwork, though, and for that I am grateful. I'm glad you got yours!
