I do want to challenge you on your perception that the fight is over....No, its not over in the least. SSDI isn't "throwing in the towel" Rather, it enables you to focus on your healing so that you can get to a better place in life without having to go to work 40 hours a week. I know that the vast majority of those who are on SSDI will be on for life, but there are those of us who are determined to get better, are getting better, and will be able to be a heck of a lot more productive in the future. SSDI is in no way, shape, or form a death trap.

Thanks... I will have to look into it further because as you said, it's gotten too hard for me to focus the effort needed in attempt to feel better while working a demanding job. It really sucks because I'm damn good at my work, but I'm failing at it simply because of my condition.
Have you ever felt like, "I was robbed because if I never developed this damn condition, then there's no question I would have become a great success in life?" It's like God played a cruel joke on me to gift me with talent and then tossed in this chronic condition as a near complete road block to utilize that talent in an effective manner. Of all things I think that pisses me off the most.
