Greetings!

I have been having troule with pancreatitis on a recurrent

basis since 9/2003, and I have not worked since 8/2002 (layoff) - At

one time they were saying my diagnosis was recurrent acute

pancreatitis, and now they are saying chronic pancreatitis, but

honestly I am not really sure and I don't know much about the

differences. I'm currently #2 in a 3 stent process. I have a

number of questions about work/disability.

I recently was offered work, but I had to turn it down because I was

not physically able to do the job. I have two other significant

medical conditions which complicate things. #1 I am Bipolar (of

which the pain from pancreatitis is a trigger, so controlling the

pain is a high priority...), etc. - and #2 I have a number of

spinal tumors, spinal issues in approximately the SAME AREA (disk

#11) which cause pain in the right side as well so sometimes I can't

tell what is causing the pain problem.

So, I have many new found limitations. I have a need to provide for

my family and I have not been able to do so in almost 3 years now.

God continues to provide for us in the most miraculous ways,

though. I have filed for disability and I am waiting. I do hope to

get on it soon, so we can get some income, but on the other hand I

don't want to depend on disability. So, I am trying to think of

ways I can provide for my family with my new limitations. Does

anybody know what I can expect with the disability? how long do I

have to wait? Is there a career that might be suitable? If anyone

has any ideas please email me at the address below

Thanks so much!!
