Speaking of disability I have only been on a short term employer/insurance-company sponsored version of it. It is due to expire on September 7th. That said I am not ready to return to work unless my employer can provide me a reasonable accommodation (i.e. going in later in the morning due to my chronic insomnia). I don't know how realistic this will be but it is all I can think of at this point. The neurologists I have seen each have a different opinion but none have been helpful thus far. My next appointment is with a neurologist who originally recommended Xyrem as one possibility back in the spring of '09 (I have been on all/most of the other ones so far over the past 10 years). I am nervous about my career future and my ability to support myself if my employer cannot accommodate a later schedule - although if I can find employment with another company that operates in the afternoon or evening or if I can become self employed that would be great and I wouldn't need disability of any kind. This is the first time I have ever been on disability and I have been with this company for 6 years with a flawless record. Any advice or support is most welcomed.
