Hi Phil,  I read your posting to Frank.  It was really nice, encouraging too.  I noticed you said you were turned down for disability with SSI.  There is a federal law that states anyone with RSD is auto. qualified to get SSI/SDI.  If you haven't sent in your paperwork yet, it would be good to include.  Where is your RSD?  Mine is only in my legs, and not bad most the time.  I had ECT treatments for about a year, and it helped tremendously!  I had it full body before.  It really only bothers me if a storm is coming, or the cold wind is blowing.  Other than that, I'm able to lift weights and do ot6her things I could never do before.
  
 Hang in there!  It took me twice too!  That was before the law was enacted .  I've had RSD for 6 years all together.
