I was on SSDI for just a couple of years and then Zyprexa enabled me go to back to work. When I received SSDI, I had a lawyer, but I suspect that had I filed on my own, I would have been approved, too, because I literally filed in December and was awarded in January. That was less than a year after my latest (3rd) attempt. In the year immediately preceding the award, I had been in hospital 3 times, but there had been many more inpatient stays prior.

I hope I can continue working, but if I need to go back on SSDI, I wanted to collect all the info.
