Similar story here, 13 years although no disability. The Lyme disease explains only part of the story, I think time will reveal that the root of all this is mercury toxicity from having amalgam fillings removed by a careless dentist.

It's hard finding good help these days. Hell, it's getting hard getting a pizza delivered right-side-up.

I feel very bad for so many sick people who cannot work are are homeless and sick or have a Major disability or neurodegenertive disease and then there's people who are on SSDI who basically retire for the rest of their lives. A fireman had broken his finger, it recovered, he was fine. Decided To retire at 43 on SSDI getting over 4000 dollars a month. He's fine too.

If I lived alone, my government would sent me an awesome C$ 600 or so per month to live on. Luckily my wife earns decent money.

After rent and utilities I have ~$480/month to scrape by for life (food, toiletries, cleaning supplies, travel, clothes, hardware, gear, art supplies, etc...) While some might sit around playing video games and watching movies with no learning or goals, I sit around watch YouTube, add to wikis, rant online, and make things, and after a dozen years in the dungeon I'm branching out again IRL. Soon enough I'll have a product to share, and if it's well received I may be an independent director again.
