I don't know how disability works, but I did have to go on temporary short-term disability for a while. It was through my work though, so I don't know if the gov't has anything like that.

It did help me get back on my feet a bit and gave me some time to recover...especially since your T and doc is approaching the subject with you, maybe consider it?

I don't know. Easy to say, but harder for you to do. Let us know what you decide. I am glad you are thinking of options to help take care of you.
