Since September of 2006, I realize the economy had gotten worse. I was told I was no longer disabled and to go fine work. I appealed it. I kept going to my doctor and I even went to a chiropractor but it didn't matter a year later I was not approved again. so I appealed again. I grew up with epilepsy from the age of 3. In which I was on disability with my father who was a severe diabetic. When I was 14 my father died. So once I graduated I went to work and I worked so many jobs it was not funny. Meaning I worked 2-5 jobs. But I got injured at a few but I never sued the companies.

At the age of 25 I started having problems breathing. My doctor at the time told me it was due to the fact I had asthma. She told me to get my heart tested as well but I waited until a few years ago. I got on disablitity in 2001. At the age of 34, I found out my heart is not doing well either.

In 2007, I started having pains in my leg after havinga seizure. I would let it rest and then try to keep walking. I was also going to a chiropractor cause my whole left side had shifted after having a partial stroke earlier that year. While going to the chiropractor I found out the reason my upper back was hurting was do to when I had a seizure at the age of 14. I fell back then on something metal. So part of my back was broken and I didn't even know it. The chiropractor was helping but she began to get a little to expensive on the ssa check each month I was getting. Not to mention the electtric bill was sky rocketing here. So that eliminated that help. I continued to complain about my leg so my doctor checked it out. At the same time I had to go court for the disability. By the time I got the results the hearing was over.

I found out I have a cyst in my leg but SSA didn't care. They kicked me off anyway. So I have to look for a job now and hope I can find one where I am sitting not standing. I have gotten fed up with the way they handled the whole situation an said I will deal with the pain. My family alway taught us to be honest and I went to court and was honest. But even though they didn't have all the medical problems are doctors in there report. At least I know I was honest about it. I have less than 60 days to appeal but I am not even bothing. Then to top it all off the government is going to make me pay them back even though I wa sick for real. I dont really care anymore. I am going to fight to get my life back in this hectic economy. Oh did I also mention the whole time I stil had to pay on a student loan from years ago. I had to keep defering just to try to get my medication and to see the doctor. Now I will have to try to find a job with insurance. I do hope that I can find something soon. This economy has gotten so bad. Even the food prices has got
