KathyK: Do you have to be in a coma to get a 100% rating with the VA? I feel for you. Part of my disability is severe sciattica. I also experience right foot/leg spasms. I have had 5 surgeries for bi-lateral carpal and cubital tunnel. I have neck and bi-lateral shoulder severe pain. I suffer from depression and headaches. I am unable to sleep regularly. I am constantly sleep deprived. I have tried numerous sleeping pills to no avail. I have been deemed totally disabled by Social Security. I received the rating the first time I applied. I did my own paperwork. I am still trying to settle with Workman's Comp. They have only given me a partial disability rating. If I can assist you in filling out forms for the VA, feel free to contact me.

Hi Leeroy,
I hear you. I fought for SSI for a year and a half. I got denied 3 times and had to sit before an SSI judge and plead my case. I went through all of that even though I had 4 neurosurgeons label me totally disabled, but because I was only 39 yrs old they kept denying me. I have spondelothesis(L5), DDD (L4+L5)and a herniated disk(L4-L5). This is my first post. I'm new here as well.
