Actually hormonal illness paired with obesity does help one get on it. I will say Roni you are correct about the fact one does have to have breathing problems or edema etc from the obesity. you really do have to have affected mobility. I did and do. (my asthma when I was thin too didnt help though I have had that more controlled over the last years. A medically induced obesity usually too is more approved readily even though this may not be completely fair. I had no problems on my review when my doctor put down all my hormonal imbalances and hyperadrenalism. I had my review of disabilty approved immediately.

I worked as long as I could in 1996. even got demoted to night shift. --not in pay because that would be illegal but I couldnt keep up. I was a case worker counselor with violent youth. When your employers are aware of your illness and know its best to move on..this does help.
