Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Need help brainstorming for a job

Hey Guys,

I'm in desperate need of some help. As many of you know, I've been off work for almost a year for mental health issues. My private insurance company has decided that even though I'm no better than I was, I should return to work. All 3 of my doctors are adamently against it, plus I know there is no way I can handle it right now. So I'm going through an appeal process but have just been informed that I am no longer going to be paid

I have a lawyer who is going to be taking care of the appeal because my doctors feel the treatment I've received has just been making me worse.

So, in the meantime, I need to do something for money (obviously). I could try applying for government disability (which I'd probably qualifiy for) but I really don't want to do that for personal reasons PLUS it takes upwards of three months to qualify and Scott and I can't get by for that long with only his income. He's willing to try and get a second job (he's currently working overnights) but I can't expect him to do that...plus it would likely be more detrimental to me to be on my own all the time.

So, if anyone has any suggestions...I would be so incredibly grateful. Basically I need something that is fairly low stress, isn't likely to involve being yelled at over the telephone (i.e. no call center jobs) and if possible, something at night or overnights would probably be best (but not necessary). The BEST thing would be some sort of independent contractor work from home position...but I don't know of any that are legit and work for Canadians.

My main skills are my computer skills, proficient in Windows, MS Office, email and internet (obviously) and can type approx. 110wpm.

Anyways, if anyone can help me a million thanks to you
