Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
Then I went back to work ...which was the best thing EVER.
Then I had to part ways with my job because they needed me to start driving on the job.
I'm currently searching for one.
A word of warning:
We kept hoping that he would get better so didn't apply for disability. When we finally applied, we were told that we were past the time limit. He had to have earned at least $4,000 in the last 4 years to quality. He hadn't worked for 5 years.
Usually when I eat, I save room for my dessert: a wonderfully colorful, pill cocktail. At least I can't say that I don't get dessert! :-)
I find the worst part of all of this is the depression that comes with the inability to work due to my poor health and/or the fact that no one in their right mind will employ me no matter how many degrees I earned in college and post graduate work. I can always take meds for the pain, which don't work for the most part or have horrible side effects, but the one thing I can't get over is the depression and how I'm going to take care of my family and not lose my house. I don't know if you suffer from the depression as well as the physical ills, but if you do I'd like to know how you deal with it.
In any event, good luck with your job search. If you figure out how to support yourself by working at home on the computer or some such thing, please let me know. Either way I hope you feel better soon and find work. Good luck. Let me know what happens.

Anyway, I have made or taken some new steps with my own. I did get a new attorney, or at least I think I have a new one. Phone interview tommorrow. It's been so long, and I have lost so much, I am beginning to really just not care. I'm tired. And, I hate dealing with people, answering all those stinking questions, again, anda again. Makes my head hurt.
Nope, haven't work in 2.5 or close to 3 years now........still waiting.
I am, on the other had, have became unrealiable since my injuries have progressed, but i cannot afford to lose it, i have noone to pay my bills for me, and have already been advised i would not qualify for disability.

The reason why i chose not to do any part and full time work as it's too much pressure for me to handlee
