My pdoc and I have determined that I can not return to my job. I haven't worked in over a year. I was a pediatric respiratory therapist, and I worked in the NICU and ER. It was extremely stressful!! I also have tons of stress at home with 5 kids. Anyway, I have applied for SS. The one that is based on your work experience and not your income. Has anyone had experience with this? I would appreciate anyone's comment. Thanks a bunch!

Hugs,
Renee

Hello again Renee!!! I was wondering how you were.

As for disability, I have no experience with it...other than what my mom went through. She is VERY disabled, and it still took about a year to get approved, but then she got all her back "pay" once it was approved.

I think Marci knows a lot about this, and she's in and out right now. But maybe she can jump online soon.

Keep posting!! We miss you!

Love and Hugs,
