Are there any medical tests to prove LC?

What types of specialists have you seen and what tests have been done? Do you have any official diagnoses and are you receiving any treatments?
I’m am not going to die in 12 months and was approved for SSDI on my first application. I did not need an attorney and submitted my own application. It took about 8 months to get approved and retro pay.
You need to read about qualifying for SSDI and make sure you follow the process needed to get approved. If you do not have an official diagnosis and treatment to qualify, you will not be able to be approved.

I have had nearly every blood test known to man; I have seen rheumatology, immunology, neuropsychology, PT, OT and Speech therapy. I have officially been diagnosed with LC for over a year, along with depression, anxiety, Chronic/Complex PTSD, degenerative disc disease in my spine (have had two surgeries, both in 2011), chronic daily migraine, chronic pain syndrome, Reynaud's syndrome (which is an autoimmune disease), fibromyalgia, mild cognitive impairment, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. I am seeing a neurologist at the end of June. I was just diagnosed with small airway disease which is a complication of LC/vaccine injury, yesterday after a lung CT the day before, so now I have an inhaler. I have quickly developed some form of arthritis with LC, especially in my hands, elbows and shoulders. I'm sure I could go on and on. I feel like my PCP is thorough as more is learned about LC and, at times, I feel like a guinea pig sometimes...ugh.

Congratulations! That is a very rare thing indeed (based on my 30 years experience as a clinical social worker, helping others through this process maybe more than 100 times), and it offers hope. Thank you for sharing!
