Diane,
Don’t give up on the Social Security disability. Getting approval is a matter of getting your doctors to document the disability properly. I’d like to talk to you on the phone about this, as I have considerable experience with this and might be able to help you. Send me an email with your phone number and a good time to call if you’re interested in talking futher. I hope I can be of help. (I am on SS Disability for TED, along with other issues.)
