Distal Myopathy and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

Your proximal muscles are those that are located closest to the center of your body. These are the muscles that are located in your legs, shoulders, upper arms and pelvis.

Your distal muscles are your muscles that are situated the farthest from the center of your body. These are the muscles of your feet, hands, legs and lower arms.

Distal myopathy is a general term for a group of rare progressive genetic disorders. Distal myopathy is marked by atrophy (wasting) of your voluntary distal muscles.

Distal myopathy can begin at any age from infancy to adulthood. However, most of the forms of distal myopathy occur later in life and progress slowly.

Distal myopathy belongs to an even larger group of disorders that are known as the muscular dystrophies. The muscular dystrophies are evidenced by weakness of various voluntary muscles throughout your body. The muscular dystrophies affect different muscles and have different ages at which they begin. They also vary in inheritance patterns and severity.

The different types of distal myopathy are caused by several different genetic defects. All of these genetic defects are not known at the present time. This means that it is a disorder that you inherit from your parents. The inheritance pattern can be autosomal dominant. This means that you only have to inherit a defective gene from one of your parents in order to have the possibility of having distal myopathy. Or, this disorder can also be autosomal recessive. This means that you have to inherit a faulty gene from both of your parents in order to have the possibility of getting distal myopathy.

The primary signs and symptoms of distal myopathy are weakness and wasting (atrophy) in the muscles of your forearms, hands and lower legs. In time, however, other muscle groups may be affected.

As mentioned earlier, the signs and symptoms of distal myopathy usually progress slowly. Other possible signs and symptoms that you may experience are:

  • Frequent falls
  • Heart problems
  • Difficulty walking
  • Joint contractures
  • A waddling gait.
  • Impaired hand function
  • A weak grasp.

The specific signs and symptoms, severity and progression of distal myopathy vary greatly, even among members of the same family with this disorder. Distal myopathy does not affect your intellect.

You or a loved one may be afflicted with distal myopathy. Distal myopathy and/or complications that have developed from it or other illnesses that you have along with this disorder may have caused you or your loved one’s disability and inability to work.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Receiving Social Security Disability

Sunday, June 5th, 2011

Myalgic encephalomyelitis is a chronic, inflammatory disease that is primarily neurological in nature. It is a multisystemic disease that affects your endocrinological, musculoskeletal, immune, cardiovascular and central nervous systems.

Myalgic encephalomyelitis is a complex and debilitating disease. It is marked by chronic physical and mental exhaustion.

Myalgic encephalomyelitis is far more prevalent in women than in men. Two to four times as many women as men are diagnosed with this disease.

The cause of myalgic encephalomyelitis is not known. However, there are some things that have been suggested as being possible causes of myalgic encephalomyelitis. Some of these include:

  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
  • Candidiasis (a body wide yeast infection)
  • Anemia (iron-poor blood)
  • An environmental allergy
  • A persistent viral infection
  • Mistaken attacks by your immune system on your blood vessels, musculoskeletal system and nervous system.

If this last suggestion is correct, it would mean that myalgic encephalomyelitis is an autoimmune disease. This is a type of disease where for some unknown reason your immune system attacks your own body.

The hallmark sign or symptom of myalgic encephalomyelitis is incapacitating fatigue that causes you to feel totally exhausted with extremely poor stamina. However, there are several other signs and symptoms that you may have with this disease. Some of these are:

  • Tender lymph nodes
  • Problems with speech and coordination
  • Headache and sore throat
  • Severe pain
  • Post-exertional malaise (generalized feeling of weakness, sickness or not being well)
  • Difficulty with balance
  • Cognitive impairment
  • Flu-like symptoms, such as pain in your muscles and joints
  • Subnormal or poor body temperature control resulting from circulation problems
  • Unrefreshing sleep
  • Impaired mobility
  • Visual problems
  • Changes in sensory tolerance.

There are many other signs and symptoms that have been reported by people with myalgic encephalomyelitis. These signs and symptoms fluctuate and vary in intensity and severity. The degree of complexity and impairment caused by this disease is determined by the degree of diffuse brain injury and organ involvement that you experience.

You or a loved one may be suffering from myalgic encephalomyelitis. Myalgic encephalomyelitis and/or complications that have been caused by it or other disorders that you have in addition to this disease may have brought about the disability of you or your loved one and be what is keeping you from being able to work.

As a result of this, you may need assistance. You may need financial help.

You or your loved one may be thinking about applying for the financial assistance that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability that has resulted from myalgic encephalomyelitis and/or complications that have developed from it or other disorders that you have in addition to this disease. You may have already done this and been turned down by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one has been considering reapplying or appealing the denial, you really should think carefully about this established fact that you may not be aware of. The fact of the matter is that people who are represented by a disability attorney like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who do not have a disability lawyer on their side.

Please do not wait or put this off until tomorrow. This is a matter of great importance to you or your loved one. Contact the disability lawyer at socialsecurityhome.com, today.

Benign Pseudohypertrophic Muscular Dystrophy and Receiving Social Security Disability

Monday, May 23rd, 2011
X-linked recessive inheritance: Affected boys ...

Image via Wikipedia

Muscular dystrophy refers to a group of genetic, hereditary muscle diseases. These diseases result in progressive muscle weakness in the muscles that enable your body to move.

If you have muscular dystrophy, you have missing or incorrect information in your genes. This stops you from producing the proteins that you need for healthy muscles. Muscular dystrophy is a congenital disease. This means that it is something you are born with. It is not something that is contagious.

Muscular dystrophy weakens your muscles as time goes by. This disease causes you to gradually lose your ability to do the things that most people take for granted like walking or sitting up.

The difficulties resulting from muscular dystrophy may have begun when you were a baby, or they may have started in childhood, adolescence or adulthood.

There are several different kinds of muscular dystrophy that affect different muscle groups in different ways. Benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy is one of the forms of this disease.

Benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy is characterized by slowly progressive muscle weakness of your legs and pelvis. It is a form of dystrophinopathy where there is not enough dystrophin made in your muscle cells. This leads to instability in the structure of your muscle cell membrane.

Benign pseudohypertrophic dystrophy is like Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The main difference is that its progression of muscle weakness occurs at a much slower rate. It is also far less predictable than Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy is a disease that nearly always affects boys. It is rare when a girl is affected by this disease.

The signs and symptoms of benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy usually start in adolescence or adulthood. Possible signs and symptoms are:

  • Frequent falls
  • Muscle deformities like the enlargement of your calf muscles
  • Skeletal deformities in your back and chest
  • Slowly progressive muscle weakness as in difficulty walking, running, jumping or hopping
  • Wasting (loss of muscle mass)
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Loss of coordination and balance
  • Heart disease
  • Walking on toes
  • Fatigue
  • Cognitive problems that do not get worse with time
  • Walking on toes.

You or a loved one may have benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy. Benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy and/or complications that have been caused by it or other conditions that you have in addition to this disease may have brought about the disability of you or your loved one and be what is preventing you from working.

Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy and Receiving Social Security Disability

Saturday, May 21st, 2011
US Navy 081028-N-3173B-027 Cmdr. John King ass...

Image via Wikipedia

Cerebral palsy is a term that refers to a group of chronic disorders that affect body movement and muscle coordination. Cerebral palsy is caused by some form of brain damage that occurs either during pregnancy, during delivery or shortly after delivery.

There are several different kinds of cerebral palsy. They are classified by the way that they affect you. Dyskinetic cerebral palsy is one of the forms of this disorder.

Dyskinetic cerebral palsy is sometimes confused with adult onset dystonia because the signs and symptoms are the same. However, dyskinetic cerebral palsy is not degenerative, but adult onset dystonia is.

Over 750,000 children and adults have some type of cerebral palsy. About one out of four people with cerebral palsy have dyskinetic cerebral palsy.

Dyskinetic cerebral palsy is caused by damage to your basal ganglia or cerebellum. The basal ganglia are situated in your midbrain. These are the areas of your brain that are responsible for processing the signals that enable you to move in a smooth, coordinated way. They are also what enable you to maintain body posture.

Dyskinetic cerebral palsy is a type of athetonia. Athetonia refers to a condition that is evidenced by slow, twisting, involuntary muscle movement. This is the main sign or symptom of dyskinetic cerebral palsy.

This slow, twisting movement usually affects your hands, arms, feet or legs. Sometimes, it can affect the muscles of your tongue and face.

There is also a mixed muscle tone that characterizes this type of cerebral palsy. Some are too high and some are too low.

The signs and symptoms that you experience will depend on the severity of your disorder. Other signs and symptoms that you may have are:

  • An inability to stand still
  • Difficulty controlling your tongue or your breathing
  • Excessive facial movements
  • Fluctuations in muscle tone that alternates between too low and too high
  • Grimacing
  • Problems holding objects or making precise movements
  • Drooling
  • Random, jerky, rapid involuntary movements
  • Speech impairments
  • Heightened twisting movements during times of emotional stress
  • Difficulty walking or sitting upright.

You or a loved one may be afflicted with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. Dyskinetic cerebral palsy and/or complications that have resulted from it or other illnesses that you have besides this disorder may have led to you or your loved one’s disability and be what is keeping you from working.

As a result, you may need assistance. You may need financial help.

You or your loved one may be thinking about applying for the financial assistance that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability that has been caused by dyskinetic cerebral palsy and/or complications that have been brought about by it or other illnesses that you have besides this disorder. You may have already tried this option, and your claim was turned down by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one is considering reapplying or appealing the denial, you really should keep this important fact in mind that you may not be aware of. The fact is that people who are represented by a disability attorney like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who do not have a disability lawyer on their side.

Appendiceal Cancer and Receiving Social Security Disability

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011
Stomach colon rectum diagram.

Image via Wikipedia

Cancer originates in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body. When your body is functioning like it should, new cells are made as you need them and old cells die when they are supposed to being replaced by new cells.

However, this process does not always work the way it is supposed to. New cells originate even when you do not need them, and old cells do not die when they ought to.

The extra cells may form a mass that is called a tumor.  These tumors are either benign or malignant. Benign ones are not cancer. Malignant tumors are cancer.

Cancer is actually a group of diseases. Each one of these diseases is evidenced by cells that are aggressive (they grow and divide without respect to normal limits), invasive (they invade and destroy adjacent tissue) and sometimes metastatic (they spread to other parts of your body).

There are many different kinds of cancer. Most are named for where they begin in your body. For example, stomach cancer begins in your stomach. Liver cancer begins in your liver.

Appendiceal cancer begins in your appendix. Appendiceal cancer is often considered to be a form of colorectal cancer because your appendix is located close to your colon.

Appendiceal cancer is an uncommon kind of cancer. It accounts for about 1% of colorectal cancer cases in the United States. This means that it affects around 1,500 people each year in this country.

There are several forms of cancer that can begin in your appendix. These include signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma, carcinoid tumor, paraganglioma, colonic-type adenocarcinoma and mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.

Many times, appendiceal cancer is asymptomatic. What this means is that you may not have any signs or symptoms at all. If you do experience signs and symptoms, they may include:

  • Ascites (fluid in your abdomen)
  • Changes in your bowel function
  • Bloating
  • Appendicitis
  • Infertility (an inability to have a child)
  • An increase in the size of your waistline with or without a protrusion of your bellybutton (navel).

It is important that you understand that each one of these signs and symptoms is not specifically related to appendiceal cancer. They may result from something other than this disease.

You or a loved one may be suffering from appendiceal cancer. Appendiceal cancer and/or complications that have developed from it or other conditions that you have along with this disease may have caused you or your loved one’s disability and inability to work.

You may need help as a result of this. You may need financial assistance.

You or your loved one may be thinking about applying for the financial help that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability that has been brought about by appendiceal cancer and/or complications that have resulted from it or other conditions that you have along with this disease. You may have already taken this step, and your application was denied by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one is considering reapplying or appealing the denial, here is an important fact that you really need to keep in mind that you may not have heard about. The fact is that people who have a disability lawyer on their side like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability attorney.

Underactive Thyroid Disease and Receiving Social Security Disability

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011
Thyroid

Image via Wikipedia

Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland that is situated at the base of your neck. It sits right below your Adam’s apple. Your thyroid gland makes hormones that have a major impact on your health. These hormones affect your metabolism in all of its aspects. These hormones that are produced by your thyroid gland affect things that range all the way from how fast you burn calories to what your heart rate is.

Your system functions like it should when your thyroid releases the right amounts of these hormones. When your thyroid does not make enough hormones, the balance of chemical reactions in your body is disturbed. When this occurs, the ailment is referred to as underactive thyroid disease.

Underactive thyroid disease is a far larger problem than you might think. Over 5 million people in the United States have this ailment. As many as 10% of all women in the United States may be afflicted with this ailment to some extent. In fact, millions of Americans have underactive thyroid disease and do not know it.

There are several things that may cause underactive thyroid disease. It may result from an autoimmune reaction. Thyroid surgery, radiation therapy and various medications play a part in causing underactive thyroid disease. There are also some less common causes of this ailment which include pregnancy, pituitary disorder, congenital disease and iodine deficiency.

There are many signs and symptoms that you may experience with underactive thyroid disease. Early signs and symptoms include:

  • Paleness
  • Thin, brittle hair
  • Constipation
  • Thin, brittle fingernails
  • Joint or muscle pain
  • Fatigue
  • Intolerance of cold
  • Depression
  • Unintentional weight gain
  • Weakness.

Signs and symptoms of underactive thyroid disease as it progresses to a more advanced stage are:

  • Thickening of your skin
  • Flaking, dry skin
  • Thinning of your eyebrows
  • Hoarseness
  • Decrease in taste and smell
  • Speech that is slow
  • Puffy face, feet and hands
  • Abnormal menstrual periods in women.

There are also some other effects that can develop with underactive thyroid disease. Some of these are atrophy and pain, uncoordinated movement, joint stiffness and overall swelling, muscle spasms, loss of hair and loss of appetite.

You or a loved one may have been diagnosed with underactive thyroid disease. Underactive thyroid disease and/or complications that have developed from it or other conditions that you have in conjunction with this ailment may have resulted in the disability of you or your loved one and be what is keeping you from being able to work.

You may need help if this is true. You may need financial assistance.

You or your loved one may be planning on applying for the financial help that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability that has been brought about by underactive thyroid disease and/or complications that have resulted from it or other conditions that you have in conjunction with this ailment. You may have already applied and been denied by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one is thinking about reapplying or appealing the denial, you really should carefully consider this important fact that you may not know about. The fact of the matter is that people who have a disability lawyer working for them like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability attorney.

Brachial Plexus Neuropathy and Receiving Social Security Disability

Monday, May 16th, 2011
The right brachial plexus with its short branc...

Image via Wikipedia

Neuropathy is a medical term that is used for diseases or malfunctions that affect your peripheral nervous system. The term is usually used to mean the same thing as peripheral neuropathy.

Your peripheral nervous system is a vast communications network that transfers information from your brain and spinal cord (your central nervous system) to all of the other parts of your body. It also sends sensory information back to your brain and spinal cord. These are messages like your hand is burned or your foot is cold.

There are more than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy that have been identified. Each one of these forms of the disorder has its own characteristic pattern of development, set of signs and symptoms and prognosis.

Brachial plexus neuropathy is one of the forms of peripheral neuropathy. It involves your brachial plexus. This is a bundle of nerves that are linked with your arm and shoulder.

Brachial plexus neuropathy is marked by the attack of intense pain in your shoulder and upper arm. This is followed by regional weakness.

Fortunately, brachial plexus neuropathy is not a common disorder. It is sometimes misdiagnosed as a problem that originates in your cervical spine.

Even though the specific causes of brachial plexus neuropathy are not known, there are several factors that may play a role in the development of this disorder. Some of these are:

  • Stretching injuries
  • Excessive exposure to toxins and radiations
  • Parasitic infestation
  • Inflammation
  • Tumors that press on your nerves
  • Trauma to brachial plexus area
  • Certain medications
  • Congenital (present at birth) abnormalities
  • Viral infections, especially those of the upper respiratory tract
  • Systemic illness like temporal arteritis or polyarteritis nodosa
  • Some vaccinations
  • Bacterial infection like typhoid or pneumonia.

The hallmark sign or symptom of brachial plexus neuropathy is the onset of intense pain in your upper arm and shoulder, although the level of pain may vary from person to person and with the severity of the disorder. Other possible signs and symptoms include:

  • Regional muscle weakness
  • Abnormal sensations like burning or tingling
  • Numbness in your hand, arm or shoulder
  • Horner syndrome (affects the nerves of your face and eye)
  • An inability to raise or extend your hand or wrist

You or a loved one may have brachial plexus neuropathy. Brachial plexus neuropathy  and/or complications that have occurred from it or other conditions that you have in addition to this disorder may have brought about the disability of you or your loved one and be the reason why you are not able to work.

As a result of this, you may need assistance. You may need financial help.

You or your loved one may be thinking about applying for the financial assistance that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability that has been caused by brachial plexus neuropathy and/or complications that have been brought about by it or other conditions that you have in addition to this disorder. You may have already done this and been turned down by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one is considering reapplying or appealing the denial, keep this vital fact in mind that you may not be aware of. The simple truth is that people who are represented by a disability attorney like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who do not have a disability lawyer fighting for them.

Please do not hesitate or wait until tomorrow. This is far too important to you or your loved one. Contact the disability attorney at socialsecurityhome.com, today.

Dizziness and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Friday, May 13th, 2011
balance disorder image from public domain http...

Image via Wikipedia

Turning around and around until you got dizzy was fun when you were a child. When you get older, dizziness is no laughing matter.

Dizziness is a word that is used to describe everything from feeling weak, faint or unsteady, to feeling lightheaded. Dizziness that causes the sensation of you, or things around you to be moving and spinning is called vertigo.

Your sense of balance depends on your brain processing different information coming from your eyes, inner ears and nervous system. If your brain cannot process this information, if the information is contradictory, or if your sensory systems are not working properly, you may experience loss of balance and dizziness

There are several medical conditions that can cause dizziness. Some of these are:

  • Wooziness
  • Lightheadedness
  • Weakness
  • Fatigue
  • Faintness
  • Nausea
  • Loss of balance
  • Vertigo (The sense that you or your surroundings are spinning and moving)
  • Blurred vision after quick moving of your head
  • Difficulty in concentrating.

The cause of your dizziness depends on the type of dizziness you are experiencing.

For example, if the type of dizziness you are experiencing is vertigo, the cause may be one of the following:

  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
  • Vestibular migraine
  • Acoustic neuroma
  • Inflammation of your inner ear
  • Rapid changes in motion
  • Meniere’s disease

If your dizziness is a feeling of faintness, this may be caused by:

  • Not enough blood output from your heart
  • A drop in blood pressure.

If loss of balance is the type of dizziness you are experiencing the cause may be:

  • Sensory disorders
  • Medications you are taking
  • Inner ear problems
  • Muscle and joint problems.

If you are experiencing lightheadedness or other types of dizziness the cause may be:

  • Anxiety disorders
  • Hyperventilation
  • Inner ear disorders.

There are several different ways that dizziness may affect you as indicated by the possible causes mentioned above. Some of these effects are wooziness, lightheadedness, weakness, fatigue, faintness, nausea, loss of balance, vertigo, blurred vision and difficulty concentrating.

The underlying cause of your dizziness may be incapacitating. You may be disabled and unable to work due to whatever is causing your dizziness.

If this describes your situation, you or your loved one may need help. You may need financial assistance with your disability.

Are you considering applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability that is characterized primarily by dizziness? Have you been denied?

If you are thinking about appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration, remember this. People who are represented by a caring disability attorney like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than those who are without a lawyer.

Do not hesitate. Do not wait. This could be something that affects you for the rest of your life. Contact the dependable disability attorney at socialsecurityhome.com, today.

Carnitine Deficiency and Receiving Social Security Disability

Sunday, May 8th, 2011
Category:Medical genetics images (Original tex...

Image via Wikipedia

Carnitine is an amino acid which helps in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria in your cells where they are broken down and turned into energy. The mitochondria are your cells power sources. Carnitine deficiency is a metabolic state in which carnitine concentrations in your plasma and tissues are less than the levels required for normal function of your body.

Therefore, if you do not have enough carnitine present in your system, your body will not be able to use up fatty acids causing them to build up, and causing you to immediately feel weak after only a little exercise. This carnitine deficiency also leads to hypoketosis, fatty liver, muscle aches and myopathy. Myopathy is a neuromuscular disease in which your muscle fibers do not function properly.

Carnitine deficiency is much more serious in infants. This is because tissue and cell growth is rapid and the demand for energy utilization and tissue accretion leads to depletion of carnitine faster than it can be synthesized. The result can be arrhythmias and even death.

There are two general kinds of carnitine deficiency. They are:

  • Primary – This is usually a genetic defect. With primary carnitine deficiency your carnitine transporter does not function like it should. It prevents carnitine from being transported into your cells.
  • Secondary – This usually happens due to metabolic disorders in the mitochondria of your cells.

Primary carnitine deficiency is classified in two ways. They are:

  • Systemic carnitine deficiency – This affects many of your organ systems including your brain and heart.
  • Muscle carnitine deficiency – This is limited to your voluntary muscles.

Secondary carnitine deficiency results as a secondary condition from metabolic disorders in the mitochondria of your cells. Blockage of the metabolic pathways in your mitochondria leads to a build-up of acyl compounds. These compounds then bind to your carnitine and are excreted by your kidneys. This causes your carnitine levels to drop. Some of these mitochondrial disorders include cytochrome c oxidase deficiency, mitochondrial ATPase deficiency, and fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies.

The effects that you experience with carnitine deficiency are determined by the cause of your condition. Some of the effects are:

  • Hypoglycemia
  • Fatty liver
  • Myoglobinuria
  • Muscle necrosis
  • Lipid-storage myopathy
  • Hyperammonemia with fatigue, confusion, muscle aches and cardiomyopathy.

You or your child with disability may have carnitine deficiency. This, along with underlying related conditions, may be causing you or your child’s disability.

You may need help. You may need financial help.

You may have applied for Social Security disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by carnitine deficiency and/or related underlying conditions. Were you or your child with disability denied?

If you are going to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration, think about this. People with a good disability lawyer like the one at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people without an attorney.

Chronic Fatigue and Receiving Social Security Disability

Saturday, May 7th, 2011

To begin with, chronic fatigue is not the same thing as chronic fatigue syndrome. Chronic fatigue syndrome is one of several names given to a poorly understood, highly debilitating, multi-symptom disorder of uncertain causes.

Chronic fatigue, on the other hand, is a common effect caused by many diseases. Chronic fatigue is a feeling or sensation of exhaustion during or after usual daily activities; or a lack of energy to begin those activities.

Most of us experience fatigue at one time or another in our lives. Chronic fatigue is when the feeling or sensation of exhaustion continues for over 6 months.

Obviously, the primary way in which you are affected by chronic fatigue is that feeling or sensation of exhaustion. Chronic fatigue is feeling like you just do not have any energy at all. Chronic fatigue, in turn, is a sign or symptom of several chronic conditions like:

  • Lupus
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Rheumatoid arthritis.

Chronic fatigue is not a condition, disability, disorder or disease. As mentioned above, it is an effect that is caused by many diseases. Chronic fatigue is what you are experiencing.

You or a loved one may have chronic fatigue. You may think that it is why you cannot work. You may think that chronic fatigue is what is causing you or your loved one’s disability.

Even though chronic fatigue may be the primary way that you or your loved one is being affected, it is not the real cause of your disability. Whatever the underlying condition or conditions are that are causing you or your loved one’s chronic fatigue is the real cause of your disability.

If this is true, you or your loved one may need help. You may need financial assistance because of your disability that is characterized by chronic fatigue.

Who can and will help you? Where will the financial assistance that you or your loved one needs come from? Who can you look to?

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability whose primary sign or symptom is chronic fatigue? Were you or your loved one denied by the Social Security Administration?

You or your loved one may be planning on appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration. If this is what you decide to do, here is something that you need to think about.

You will need a confident disability lawyer like the one that you will find at socialsecurityhome.com to represent and guide you in what can be a long and arduous process. The reason why this is true is because people who have a caring disability attorney on their side are approved more often than those people who do not have a lawyer.

This is something that could affect you or your loved one for the rest of your life. Do not wait. Do not put this off. Contact the dependable disability attorney at socialsecurityhome.com, today.
