I have been writing about some of the more common disabling conditions. There’s no way I can do an exhaustive list. At least, I don’t have the energy to try!

It doesn’t mean you can’t be approved for Social Security disability just because you don’t see a mention of your disabling health problem here. Give us a call. Unless it’s a truly rare disorder, we’ve probably heard of it. Syringomyelia, spasmodic torticollis, or ankylosing spondylitis, for example? Sure, I know about them although, to be honest, I haven’t seen any of those cases lately.

The main thing is that you should get and stay in medical treatment, probably by a specialist, and be a cooperative patient. Take your meds and show up for your appointments. It helps if your doctor is willing to be helpful with the Social Security disability claim but it’s not essential.
