  1. I am a nurse with 23yrs experience. I still have my license, but haven't worked in a year. I have Common Variable Immunodeficiency and Ankylosing Spondylitis. I had a craniotomy for a pituitary tumor in 2005 to have it removed. Basically my health is crap! Currently trying to get on disability, been denied twice, sent to
    a third party that could not come to a conclusion. Funny if I had Lupus or RA, I'd have been
    Approved by now! Anyway. I can't work anymore. I can't be around sick people (immunity disorder) and I can't move anyone (AS). So basically I'm screwed. My medical bills are thru the roof. I tried getting a case management job thru an insurance company & they won't hire me because I have no insurance experience. Don't think I could do the hospital CM, too much walking & on my feet. I really hope disability comes thru. I need it badly!!
  2. I am so sorry. I hope you do get disability. Yes people have told me the same thing, get a job in case management (either through the hospital or insurance copanies. Maybe a Social security lawyer could help( they don't get paid until you get social security). God bless you, I wish you all the best!
