Since I was in the hospital feb 8 I have been susupended from work for 3 days without pay. since I have had this TN from a very early age, this was my first hospitalization. Now I have been to the ER for it and the docs just look at me like I am nuts. I have finally found a internisit that I love. I go to see the Neurologist on March 7 so hopeful I will get some new or more meds that will help. Has anyone ever gotten social secruity disability for having TN?
Yes I have. I did it online and it took about six months to be approved. If I remember correctly there's is a five month period that you will not get paid so that's about eleven months minimum to hear if you have been approved. You might want to check out the SS website for more information. There is also info on this site as well.
Good luck and yes some Doctors do think we are nuts!
