Hard to keep going sometimes

Sure sorry to hear this Metallidart. I too deal with a lot of physical ailments. Arthritis, multi level degenerative disc disease, migraines, diabetes, really high blood pressure, and a nerve disorder that they can't seem to identify (my brother has it also) they call Myoclonus. I've had to back surgeries in the past year and half and have lost 2" in height. The pain is somewhat lessened but still pretty bad a lot of the time. 9 yrs. ago I turned 40 and could barely do my job anymore (mobile forklift mechanic) due to severe back pain and chronic migraines. My boss rode me like an old wet horse. If it weren't for work being real slow I would have lost my job sooner but I stuck it out another year when they told me I had to either go on disability or quit. Thank God I had a good insurance disability plan through them that paid if I couldn't do that type of job anymore. They did require me to sign up for SS disability that got approved after the 3rd go around with a lawyer. Like someone said tell them about every little issue. At first I didn't mention the migraines but as soon as I did the judge approved it. I still get out and do some things in the garage and around the house but it takes all I can muster most days along with taking 3-4 vicodin to keep the pain down to a level I can tolerate. Sorry to get so long winded. When I see another young guy going through what I've been through I relate. I will keep you in my prayers and those aren't idle words, I do pray a lot as it's the only thing that keeps me going. Tried the dope and booze when I was young and found out it's no life. Gave God a chance and found it to be very rewarding and fulfilling. Hang in there little brother and PM me anytime you want to shoot the breeze
