another attorney shot me down

Again not enough strong evidence. BUT this one at least gave me some advice to change that. He said to withdraw my current SSI case….see a therapist (doing that), get at least 2 or 3 drs to agree and back me up that they believe I am disabled based on my symptoms, get into see the pain management people, even suggested vocational rehab because if they review my case and read and hear about my symptoms they may say that in this economy there is nothing they can do for me (or maybe they can who knows), also said some other things but I dont recall them right now. Now my question is, if I withdraw the open case, how soon can I reopen it?? ANd will the process start all over like it did before, like a new case? I don’t mind the wait if it means I can get more to back my case up….it only took so long because no one would listen to me or offer me alternatives to just seeing a primary care doctor. I am going to beg the therapy clinic about seeing a rheumy and find out more about the pain place. Can’t take that tramadol because i am on wellbutrin so it looks like I am stuck with Norco or something like it. In fact I reacted horribly to every med change they did so I have to let them know. I am also going to ask about Xanax XR as a possibility.
I tried explaining to the atty that I have more medical information and files that I can get for him, and tried explaining that the neuro was an ass and didn’t even bother testing for anything that SSI asked for (which I think would weigh heavily in my favor), but none of that seemed to matter for some reason. It is very discouraging and between getting that news and my snake passing away I have had a rough couple of days. Hurt everywhere, and trying to ignore the depression that is poking at me.
I strongly do believe that it is a fibro overlap. Life has become so wonderful…ugh. Stay strong, push thru, and do the best I can right?

Hope everyone else is having a better start to the new year.
