I was off of SSDI from 1998 to 2004 when RSD brought me low. I have it in both feet. I was so disappointed when I ended up back on it again. I am so glad that I did have those 6 yrs of 'life' back. The only thing I had left from my first disability was Mediare. Back then they let you keep it for health insurance for so many years after you are off SSDI. I can't remember the exact number at this time but while I still had it a new law was enacted & I got to keep it longer & still had it when RSD brought me down. And yes, it sucks to have been disabled twice in one life time.
