                        Feel free to e-mail me about your questions about SSD, but I think you may have been out of work too long to be able to apply.  When I got it for FM, there was a stipulation about how long it had been since you worked to be able to collect.  10 years is a long time - the easiest solution is to call your local Social Security Disability Office and ask them!!  Then, if you can collect, e-mail me and I will tell you my story - it's a long one! but I did end up receiving it.  Good Luck  KIWI3841@aol.com  (Maryann)
