I am on SSD and haven't looked back since going on it. I fought it tooth and nail going on it but ever since getting it I know it is the best thing for me. I know I will probably never work again and am coming to grips with that.

I went back to school and almost got a diploma but when it came time to do my internship I couldn't do my internship because going to it every day made me regress a lot. So no worky for me.

I am on Medicare/Medicaid. Here in Arkansas you can get a different insurance in place of the Medicare and have Medicare pay for it and still have Medicaid. I did this for a few years and loved it as I had dental, vision and some awesome extras. Then the insurance company decided they didn't want to cover Arkansas anymore. So now I have straight Medicare/Medicaid. I am hoping that when the reenrollment period comes around again I can change back to a different company that is similar to the one I had. The company I am hoping to go to also has Part D so that is good. I need dental as my teeth are horrible. But medicare doesn't pay for dental.
