		<description>&quot;Social Security is very conservative in how it evaluates claims for disability.  It looks for objective, measurable medical findings.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yes.  I&#039;d like to add that not only is Pain often immeasurable (except on an individual level), the impact of working in most professional industries is enormous.  How can a SSI case worker possibly understand the ramifications of someone being told by his or her employer that &quot;no one can be sick all the time?&quot;  Day after day, a sick worker may be despondent, chronically late, inattentive and achy!  We must remember that most jobs today fall under categories that are just by nature ill-suited for chronically ill people.  The most common job descriptions I see: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;• MUST THRIVE ON FAST PACED, PRESSURED ENVIRONMENT&lt;br&gt;MULTI-TASKER, HIGH-ENERGY PERSON&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Get Real!  Most ongoing illnesses take all there is out of a body - let alone having to actually Concentrate and Produce once you actually make it to work!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Michelle  (&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:CEO@chronic-SMILES.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CEO@chronic-SMILES.org&lt;/a&gt;)</description>

		<description>Pete, thank you for the kind words.  You really made my day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;if you are in Colorado, give me a call and I&#039;ll be happy to discuss your case. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you are in a different state call a lawyer close to you who specializes in Social Security cases. I believe you will get the best result if you can talk to someone in person. But that means finding a lawyer in your area.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I wish you the very best.</description>
