Linda’s comment:  I suggest you copy and paste this and/or print out and take to your doctors or any healthcare practitioners and make sure they are recording things properly in your charts.  When you know your symptoms are attributed to Lyme disease, make sure this is noted.

In general, social security does not make decisions on a diagnosis, but on the restrictions and functional limitations a person has that results on their inability to work based on any training, education and experience the person had in the past.
 
Because Lyme disease is not listed in the “blue book”, it is even more important for those with Lyme disease to do the following.
Make sure all treating physicians understand the importance of documenting actual functional limitations in the actual patient notes.
 
Many physicians actually write “non-descriptive” patient notes which later are determined to be useless for SSDI purposes.
 
If a Lyme patient is suffering from neurological deficits that result in loss of balance and coordination, this should be clearly indicated in the patient record as attributable to Lyme disease.

Linda’s comment:  I have a friend who drives truck from the east coast to the west coast and recently I got a telephone call from her.  She told me that she would NEVER EVER roll her eyes at me when I talk about “free range”, organic feed, and how the chickens are killed and processed.

They had to pick up a delivery of processed chickens, (they drive refrigerated trucks) and the rot and smell were more than she could take.  She said many of the chicken in the confined cages had no feathers on their wings.  She thought it was because the cages they were kept in were so small that they could not flap their wings.  They picked up their load then delivered it to a place that the smell of rot was so bad she puked.  She has sworn off any chicken or eggs that don’t come from free range and organic fed.  Of course I was doing a happy dance that two more people saw the light!!  In the following article it doesn’t surprise me how sick our farmers are from managing chickens and pigs in such nasty conditions.  What has this world come to??
