Spasmodic Torticollis and Receiving Social Security Disability

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011
Scheme of muscles of neck (left side, platysma...

Image via Wikipedia

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder that is marked by sustained muscle contractions. These muscle contractions cause repetitive and twisting movements or abnormal postures.

Dystonia is also divided into two large categories that are determined by your age at the onset of the ailment. You may have a type of dystonia that is inherited if it starts during your youth. Your signs and symptoms may eventually affect all of your body.

The other category of dystonia is when it begins in older adults. This type of dystonia usually affects only one of your body parts. Usually, this is your neck, face or hand.

Spasmodic torticollis is one of the kinds of dystonia. This ailment causes the muscles of your neck to contract involuntarily. This results in your head twisting to one side. Spasmodic torticollis is a painful ailment that is also evidenced by your head tilting forward or backward uncontrollably.

Fortunately, spasmodic torticollis is rare. It can begin in anyone at any age, which also includes infancy. However, spasmodic torticollis occurs most often in middle-aged women. In fact, it is almost twice as common in women as in men.

Doctors do not know why some people develop spasmodic torticollis and others do not. Researchers believe that this ailment may result from a defect in your brain’s capacity to process chemical messages. This is how your brain cells communicate with one another.

One of the primary signs and symptoms of spasmodic torticollis is neck pain that can radiate to your shoulders. Other signs and symptoms are:

  • Tremors in your arm or hand
  • Exhaustion
  • Severe headaches
  • Elevation of the shoulder that is affected.

The muscle contractions caused by spasmodic torticollis may cause your head to twist in several different directions. This includes:

  • Your chin straight down
  • Your chin straight up
  • Your chin toward your shoulder
  • Your ear toward your shoulder.

You or a loved one may have been diagnosed with spasmodic torticollis. This ailment and/or complications that have developed from it or other disorders that you have along with this ailment may be the reason why you or your loved one is disabled and cannot work.

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

You or your loved one may have decided to apply 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 resulted from spasmodic torticollis and/or complications that have been caused by it or other disorders that you have along with this ailment. You may have already applied and been denied by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one is intending to reapply or appeal the denial, here is an important fact that you really ought to think about. The simple truth is that people who have a disability attorney in their corner like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability lawyer.

Please do not wait or put this off until tomorrow. Contact the disability attorney at socialsecurityhome.com, today.

Anxiety and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Anxiety is a physiological state characterized by cognitive, emotional, behavioral and somatic parts. These parts combine to create the feelings you have of fear, worry or apprehension.

The cognitive or knowing aspect of anxiety involves expectation. It is expecting all kinds of unknown danger.

Somatically, your body prepares you to deal with the threat (known as an emergency reaction): heart rate and blood pressure are increased, sweating is increased, blood flow to the major muscle groups is increased and digestive and immune system functions are inhibited. Externally, somatic signs of anxiety may involve pupillary dilation, sweating, pale skin and trembling.

Emotionally, anxiety causes a sense of panic or dread. Physically, it causes chills and nausea.

Behaviorally, both voluntary and involuntary behaviors can occur directed at escaping or avoiding the source of anxiety and often maladaptive, being most extreme in anxiety disorders. However, anxiety is not always maladaptive or pathological.

Anxiety is a common emotion along with sadness, happiness, fear and anger. Anger has an extremely important role in relation to survival.

There are several types of anxiety. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, phobic disorders, separation anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and stress disorders are examples of the various types of anxiety.

In addition to the ways mentioned above, anxiety may affect you in several different ways. It is often characterized by:

§  Nausea

§  Headache

§  Stomach aches

§  Shortness of breath

§  Chest pain

§  Heart palpitations.

These effects as a result of anxiety may reach a point where you or a loved one is unable to work. If this is the case with you or a loved one, it is important to remember that anxiety, itself, is not a disability.

Anxiety is a serious medical condition that can cause you to have a disability. Anxiety may be the main indication of you or your loved one’s disability.

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

Are you or your loved one considering applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability that is characterized primarily by anxiety? Have you already done this and been denied by the Social Security Administration?

What options do you have now? What recourse do you have? What do you next?

One option that you or your loved one has is to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration. If you decide to do this, here is something important that you need to know.

You or your loved one is going to need a confident disability lawyer like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com to guide and lead you in what can be a long and arduous process.

Chronic Renal Disease and Receiving Social Security Disability

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011
Structures of the kidney: Renal pyramid Interl...

Image via Wikipedia

The primary job of your kidneys is to remove excess water and waste products from your blood. Your kidneys make about two liters of urine and process about 200 liters of blood every day. The waste products are generated from normal metabolic processes like the breakdown of ingested foods, active tissues, and other substances.

Your kidneys permit you to consume a variety of drugs, supplements, foods, vitamins, additives and excess fluids without fear that toxic by-products will accumulate to harmful levels in your body. Your kidneys also play a vital role in regulating the levels of various minerals like calcium, potassium and sodium in your blood.

Chronic renal disease is a progressive loss of kidney function over a period of months or years through five stages. Each stage is a progression through a deteriorating and abnormally low glomerular filtration rate. This is usually determined indirectly by the creatinine level in your blood serum.

Chronic renal disease is a serious problem in the United States. 16.8% of all adults who are older than age 20 have chronic renal disease. This represents 1 in 6 Americans with this illness. 400,000 people have received a kidney transplant or are on dialysis. Each year, approximately 67,000 people die because of kidney failure. 39.4% of people over age 60 have chronic renal disease.

Chronic renal disease may have no specific signs or symptoms as it starts. However, as your kidney function gets worse, you may have:

  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Restless leg syndrome
  • Vomiting and nausea
  • Shortness of breath due to fluid in your lungs
  • Need to urinate often, especially at night
  • Headaches
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Easy itching, bruising and pale skin
  • Chest pain
  • Swelling of your legs and puffiness around your eyes from fluid retention
  • Decreased sexual desire and erectile dysfunction in men
  • Bone fractures and pain
  • Loss of appetite
  • Altered mental status
  • Bleeding (poor blood clotting)
  • Numbness in your hands and feet.

You or a loved one may have been diagnosed with chronic renal disease. This illness and/or complications that have resulted from it or other disorders that you have in conjunction with this illness may have brought about the disability of you or your loved one and be what is keeping you from working.

If this is your situation, you may need help. You may need financial assistance.

You or your loved one may consider 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 resulted from chronic renal disease and/or complications caused by it or other disorders that you have in conjunction with this illness. You may have already applied and been denied by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one decides to reapply or appeal the denial, think carefully about this important fact. The simple truth is that people who have a disability attorney 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 lawyer.

Bowelgina and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

The word, “angina” probably causes you to think of a problem that is associated with your heart. However, angina can also be used in reference to abdominal pain.

Bowelgina is postprandial abdominal pain that develops when you do not have enough blood flow to meet your mesenteric visceral demands. Bowelgina is intermittent abdominal pain that frequently occurs at a fixed time after eating.

Fortunately, bowelgina is extremely rare. Women are three times more likely to have bowelgina than men. It develops most often in people over 60 years of age.

Bowelgina is not a disease. It is a sign or symptom of an underlying condition that is causing this condition.

The most common underlying cause of bowelgina is your intestines and stomach being temporarily deprived of sufficient amounts of blood that are required for these organs to do their job properly. This poor circulation of blood is almost always the result of hardening of the arteries. This is a condition that is referred to as arteriosclerosis. In rare cases there can be other things that cause bowelgina. These include:

§  Antiphospholipid syndrome

§  Carcinoid tumor

§  Aortic coarctation.

There is one primary risk factor for bowelgina. It is smoking. Somewhere between 75 and 80% of the people who suffer with bowelgina are smokers.

Just as bowelgina may be the main sign or symptom of the underlying condition that is causing it, the main sign or symptom of bowelgina is disabling central abdominal pain that usually starts 10-15 minutes after eating. This pain usually increases in intensity until it reaches a plateau. Then, it slowly subsides several hours after eating.

At the beginning, this pattern of pain usually only develops after eating a large meal. However, with the passage of time, the pain develops even after small meals. You start to associate eating a meal with pain.

Another sign or symptom of bowelgina is significant weight loss. This is weight loss that is unintentional.

You or a loved one may have bowelgina. Bowelgina may be the main sign or symptom that you are experiencing with an underlying condition that is the reason for you or your loved one’s disability and not being able to work.

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

You or your loved one may be intending to apply for the financial help that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of your disability that has been caused by the underlying condition that you have whose main sign or symptom is bowelgina. You may have already applied and been denied by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one is planning on reapplying or appealing the denial, here is an important fact that you really ought to think about. The simple truth is that people who have a disability attorney standing with them like the one you will find at Social Security Home are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability lawyer.

A Chordoma and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

Cancer is a group of diseases, not just one. It is indicated by cells that are invasive (they invade and destroy adjacent tissue), aggressive (they grow and divide without respect to normal limits) and sometimes metastatic (they spread to other parts of the body).

There are many different kinds of cancer. They are usually designated for where they begin in your body. For example, colon cancer begins in your colon. Stomach cancer begins in your stomach. Even if it spreads to other organs, cancer is still named by where it started in your body.

Bone cancer begins in your bones. Your body is made up of 206 bones. Your bones help give shape and structure to your body. Your bones help protect your fragile organs, contain bone marrow that stores and makes new blood cells and help control your body’s collection of various nutrients and proteins.

A chordoma is a form of bone cancer. It is a rare tumor that usually develops on the base of your skull and your spine. A chordoma is a malignant tumor that grows rather slowly.

Fortunately, a chordoma accounts for only about 1% of all malignant bone cancers. Although a chordoma may occur to anyone at any age, this tumor occurs most often in people who are between the ages of 40 and 70, with the average age being 55.

Because a chordoma grows slowly, you may have signs and symptoms for a good while before you notice them. The signs and symptoms of a chordoma are different depending on the size and location of the tumor. Possible signs and symptoms when a chordoma is located on your spine include:

  • Impotence
  • Numbness
  • Changes in bladder and/or bowel function
  • Weakness in your legs and arms
  • Incontinence
  • Pain in the area where the tumor is located.

Possible signs and symptoms of a chordoma that is located on the base of your skull include:

  • Facial pain
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Headache
  • Changes in hearing
  • Double vision
  • Neck pain.

You or a loved one may have a chordoma. A chordoma and/or complications that have resulted from this disease may have brought about you or your loved one’s disability and not being able to work.

You may need help if this is your situation. Your may need financial assistance.

You or your loved one may be considering 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 caused by a chordoma and/or complications that have resulted from this disease. You or your loved one may have already done this and been turned down by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one has decided to reapply or appeal the denial, here is something important that you need to remember. The fact is that people who are represented by a disability attorney are approved more often than people who do not have a disability lawyer on their side.

Please do not hesitate. Contact the disability attorney at Social Security Home, today.

Cystinuria and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

Cystinuria is an inherited metabolic disease. A metabolic disease is one in which your internal body chemistry that causes your body’s metabolism does not work like it should. You may have too much of some substances and not enough of other substances that you require to stay healthy.

Cystinuria is a disease that is evidenced by the accumulation of cystine stones or crystals in your bladder or kidneys. Cystine is an amino acid, which is one of the building blocks of proteins. Cystine is usually absorbed back into your blood stream as your kidneys filter blood to create urine. Cystine is not reabsorbed into your bloodstream like it should be when you have cystinuria.

Excess cystine forms crystals as your urine becomes more concentrated in your kidneys. The crystals form stones in your bladder or kidneys as they increase in size. These crystals and stones may reduce the ability of your kidneys to eliminate waste through urine and create blockages in your urinary tract. These stones may also be the site of where bacteria can cause infections.

Cystinuria affects around 1 in 10,000 people. Cystine stones occur most often in young adults who are under the age of 40. Men are more severely affected by cystinuria than women.

There are several different signs and symptoms that you may have with cystinuria. However, the sign or symptom that will be most noticeable is pain in your back or side or flank pain. This pain may:

  • Often be severe
  • Be felt also in your genitals, groin, pelvis or between your back and upper abdomen
  • Occur usually on one side, rarely on both sides
  • Get increasingly worse over a period of days.

Other signs and symptoms of cystinuria include:

  • Excess protein in your urine
  • Blood in your urine
  • Excess amino acids in your urine
  • Kidney stones
  • Malabsorption
  • Small stature.

You or a loved one may have cystinuria. Cystinuria and/or complications resulting from it or other conditions that you have along with this disease may have led to the disability of you or your loved one. It may be preventing you from working.

If this is the case, you may need assistance. You may need financial help.

You or your loved one may have decided to apply 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 caused by cystinuria and/or complications resulting from it or other conditions that you have along with this disease. You or your loved one may have already tried this option, and your claim was turned down by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one intends to reapply or appeal the denial, here is something important for you to carefully consider. The fact of the matter is that people who are represented by a disability attorney are approved more often than people who do not have a disability lawyer in their corner.

Blepharitis and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Thursday, January 20th, 2011
An infant with mild blepharitis (inflamed eyel...
Image via Wikipedia

Your eyelid is a thin fold of skin that protects and covers your eye. Your eyelid has the thinnest skin on your body with the exception of the prepuce (fold of skin covering the head of the penis) and the labia minora (lips of the female external genitalia).

It is very important for the front surface of your cornea and eyeball to stay moist. When you are awake, your eyelids do this all-important work for you by sweeping the secretions of your tear gland (lacrimal) apparatus and other glands over the surface at regular intervals. When you are asleep, your eyelids cover your eyes to help prevent evaporation.

Your eyelids allow you to blink. This helps keep dust and dirt out of your eyes. Blinking also helps protect your eyes from injuries that are caused by foreign bodies. Your eyelashes, which are a fringe of short hairs that grow on the edge of your eyelids, serve as a screen that prevents insects and dust particles from getting in your eyes when your eyelids are partially closed.

Blepharitis is a chronic (long-term) disease that causes inflammation of your eyelids. It is a common inflammatory disease. Blepharitis is characterized by your eyelids being inflamed and becoming flaky and scaly.

There are two forms of blepharitis. Posterior blepharitis affects your inner eyelid that contacts your eye. Anterior blepharitis affects the outside front of your eyelid. This is where your eyelashes attach.

There are several different signs and symptoms that are associated with blepharitis. Some of these include:

  • Recurrent infections
  • Redness of your eye itself
  • Gritty (foreign body) feeling
  • Swollen or red eyelids
  • Watery eyes
  • Frothy tears
  • Misdirected eyelashes (eyelashes that grow abnormally)
  • Dry eyes
  • Flakes or crusting on your eye lashes
  • Blurred vision
  • Photophobia (sensitivity to light)
  • Loss of your eyelashes
  • Itching
  • Burning.

You or a loved one may have blepharitis. Blepharitis and/or complications that have resulted from this disease or other underlying conditions that you have along with it may have brought about you or your loved one’s disability and inability to work.

You may need help if this is your situation. You may need financial assistance.

You or your loved one may have decided to apply 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 caused by blepharitis and/or complications that have resulted from this disease or other underlying conditions that you have along with it. You or your loved one may have already applied, and your claim was turned down by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one intends to reapply or appeal the denial, think about this important fact. The fact is that people who have a disability lawyer in their corner like the one you will find at Social Security Home are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability attorney.

Please do not hesitate. This is too important to you or your loved one. Contact us today.

Sacroiliitis and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Friday, December 3rd, 2010
(1) sacrum, (2) ilium, (3) ischium, (4) pubis,...
Image via Wikipedia

Sacroiliitis is an inflammation of either one or both of your sacroiliac joints that connect your lower spine to your pelvis.  Sacroiliitis occurs when your sacroiliac joint between the sacrum, or base or your spine, and ilium, or pelvic bone, becomes inflamed or infected.

Your sacroiliac joints (SI joints) have a limited range of motion when compared with other major joints in your body, such as your elbow or knee. With sacroiliitis, even the slightest movements of your spine can be extremely uncomfortable or even painful.

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is another condition of the sacroiliac joint. It differs from sacroiliitis in that its origin is a disruption in the normal movement of the joint (too much or too little movement in the joint).

Sacroiliitis is a rheumatic disease. This means that it involves pain and inflammation in your joints or muscles.

Many of these rheumatic diseases are not limited to inflammation of your joints. They extend to other organs of your body, such as your lungs, kidneys, blood vessels, heart, skin, eyes and your nervous system.

There are several different things that can cause sacroiliitis. Some of these causes are:

  • Spondyloarthropathies, which include ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis that is associated with psoriasis and others
  • Pregnancy can also cause sacroiliitis because the pelvis has to stretch to enable childbirth
  • Heavy lifting, if your muscles are not properly prepared or you lift incorrectly
  • Infection of your sacroiliac joint that can be caused by bacteria in your food
  • Osteoarthritis of your spine
  • A sudden impact or traumatic injury like a fall or car accident.

There are several ways that you may be affected by sacroiliitis. These include:

  • Inflammation in one or both of your eyes
  • Psoriasis, which is an inflammation of your skin
  • Pain that affects your shoulders and hips
  • Diarrhea that is bloody
  • Stiffness and pain in your lower back, buttocks or thighs, especially when you have been sitting for long periods of time or when you get up in the morning
  • A low-grade fever that appears quickly
  • Pain that gets worse when you walk.

Sacroiliitis may be the reason that you or a loved one is unable to work. It may be the cause of your disability.

If this is so, you may need assistance. You may need financial help.

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by sacroiliitis? Were you or your loved one denied?

You or your loved one may appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration. If you do, consider this.

You may need a disability lawyer like the one at Social Security Home to represent you in this process. This is true because people who are represented by a disability attorney are approved more often than those people without a lawyer.

Encephalopathy and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Your brain is the center of your nervous system. Your brain monitors and regulates your body’s actions and reactions.

Encephalopathy is a term that means brain damage, malfunction or disease. It is used in reference to any disease that alters your brain structure or function. Encephalopathy is marked by an altered mental state that can also involve physical manifestations like poor coordination of the movements of your limb.

Encephalopathy is a very broad term that is often preceded by different terms that describe the special conditions, cause or reason for the malfunction of your brain. In fact, there are over 150 terms that precede or modify encephalopathy in the field of medicine.

Some types of encephalopathy are acute (short term). Other forms of encephalopathy are chronic (long lasting).

Due to the broad nature of encephalopathy there is no statistical information on it as such. Encephalopathy can develop at any age to anyone of any race or gender.

There are several different things that may cause encephalopathy. These include:

§  A lack of blood flow or oxygen to your brain

§  Mitochondrial or metabolic dysfunction

§  Chronic progressive trauma

§  A brain tumor

§  Poor nutrition

§  Increased pressure in your skull

§  Exposure to toxic elements like drugs, paints, solvents, industrial chemicals, certain metals and radiation

§  An infectious agent, such as virus, bacteria or prion (protein).

The signs and symptoms of encephalopathy depend on its severity and type. Some of the indications are:

§  Subtle personality changes

§  Lethargy

§  Loss of the ability to speak or swallow

§  Progressive loss of cognitive ability

§  Inability to concentrate

§  Progressive loss of consciousness

§  Muscle weakness and atrophy

§  Progressive loss of memory

§  Seizures

§  Dementia

§  Involuntary twitching of a muscle or group of muscles (myoclonus)

§  Rapid, involuntary eye movement (nystagmus)

§  Tremor.

You or a loved one may have or have had encephalopathy. This disorder and/or complications that have resulted from or the underlying condition that caused it may be the reason why you or your loved one is disabled.

If this is your situation, you may need assistance. You may need financial help.

You or your loved one may be intending to apply 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 caused by encephalopathy and/or complications that have resulted from or the underlying condition that caused it. You or your loved one may have already taken this step and been denied by the Social Security Administration.

If you or your loved one has decided to reapply or appeal the denial, here is an important fact that you need to remember. The fact is that people who have a disability lawyer in their corner like the one you will find at Social Security Home are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability attorney.

Ehrlichosis and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
The tick Amblyomma americanum (Lone Star tick)
Image via Wikipedia

Ehrlichosis is the general name that is used to describe several bacterial diseases. Ehrlichosis is an infection that kills white blood cells in your body.

Ehrlichosis is a bacterial illness that is transmitted by ticks. It occurs most frequently in the spring and summer. This is when ticks are active, and you are most often likely to be outdoors.

Fortunately, ehrlichosis is rare. The annual average reported incidence in the United States is about 0.7 cases per million population. However, ehrlichosis is not a reportable disease; so, many cases go unreported.

Ehrlichosis occurs most often in the states of Texas and California and the northeast and southeast regions of the United States. Some cases occur in the north central states that are west of the Great Lakes.

The signs and symptoms caused by ehrlichosis are flu-like in nature. They usually occur within 5 to 14 days after you are bitten by an infected tick and fed on by the tick for 24 hours or longer. Some of these signs and symptoms are:

§  Cough

§  Flat red rash (maculopapular rash)

§  Petechial rash (fine pinhead-sized areas of bleeding in your skin)

§  Nausea

§  Joint pain

§  Mild fever

§  Confusion

§  Vomiting

§  Headache

§  Diarrhea

§  Muscles aches

§  Chills

§  Malaise (general sick feeling).

The signs and symptoms in some people are so mild that their body is able to fight off the infection without having to see a doctor. However, in other cases, if left untreated, ehrlichosis can be serious enough so that you have to be hospitalized.

Most of the time, the Lone Star tick is the one who transmits this disease. However, it is possible for ehrlichosis to be transmitted in other ways. These are:

§  From mother to unborn child

§  Contact with an infected, slaughtered animal

§  Through blood transfusions.

You or a loved one may have had ehrlichosis. While ehrlichosis would not normally qualify you to receive Social Security disability benefits, you or your loved one may have had complications that resulted from this disease and/or other disabling conditions along with it that have caused you to be disabled.

You may need help if this is your situation. You may need financial assistance.

You or your loved one may be planning on 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 caused by complications that resulted from ehrlichosis and/or other disabling conditions along with this disease. Have you or your loved one already applied and been denied by the Social Security Administration?

If you or your loved one is thinking about reapplying or appealing the denial, here is an important fact that you need to think about. 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.
