I just have a question for anyone who can help. I too have an arachnoid cyst on my brain, I also have Empty Sella Syndrome and I suffer from Pesutotumor Cerbri. On top of all of that I had a herniated disc in my neck and had to have my disc fused and a metal plate and 4 screws put in. I am only 33 yrs old, but over the past 3 1/2 years my life has changes drastically. I am no longer able to work, I couldn't drive for 3 years, I still have a lot of neck pain from arthritis that has set up in my neck and I have headaches and am nauseated every single day. I honestly can not function a lot of the time. My question is... Has anyone applied for social security due to having the cyst and all of the debilitating symptoms? If so has anyone been approved? I have applied and been denied and then I appealed it, but was denied again. I appealed it again and was denied again. I am currently in the process of refiling. I haven't worked since 2012 due to my health. I also had 2 other female surgeries in the past year and a half. I know I have all of the credits or whatever they're called because I started working full time when I turned 16. I was just wondering if anyone else is having problems getting approved or if I'm just getting denied because I'm so young. Thank you.
