I've been in the same situation for a very long time so I understand and feel for you. I've often considered creating something for people in our situation (a team that work together to cover the times when a member is unable to work), but I'm not a founder and don't know where to start. I realize it's not a short term solution but if you are interested or just want to talk, you can email me at my username at Gmail. BTW, an attorney for the SSDI appeal isn't a bad idea. There are downsides but they do navigate it all the time and the deck is not stacked in you favor. Also find a pain specialist with legal experience; it's important they know what to say since there are no scans or x-rays or blood tests that can say why you are laying in bed in tears waiting to be able to take the next pain med.
