New SSI application...

My lawyer advised me to start a new SSI application. This is in case the current case gets denied (again) as well as hoping that the new case goes through right away and I start getting paid sooner. I forgot how tedious this all was. Among other things, I have to list all of my doctor appointments, tests, and doctor/hospital/clinic info. I'm far from done, and have over 150 appointments/tests listed. I've seen at least 40 doctors. I've spent 5 hours on this already today, mainly looking through my previous application (on CD) and getting the info from there. They're calling me tomorrow to interview me. I forget what they'll ask, but it's just basic stuff to start off with, I think.

*EPIPHANY*
Maybe the reason I keep getting denied is that I'm apparently well enough to fill out the damn application. Hmmm....is there a way I can not fill it out and still get everything accounted for?

My eyes are hurting now, and I'm a bit extra woozy from all of the reading and head motion. And I'm still not done. Argh.

I'm really sick of this whole process. Why can't they just talk to my doctors and maybe have some of their own poke and prod and observe me for awhile? Wouldn't that be easier for everyone? Filling out this application is making me feel worse! Blah.

I was hoping to get some of this done over the weekend, but I've not felt great, or have I slept well. And I've had some killer headaches, which haven't helped anything. It's been a little better today, but they've not gone completely away. C'est la vie...
