<i>She</i> has a disability. And I do not qualify for ssi.<p>I have cystic fibrosis. I am getting myself well when doctors say it cannot be done. Having CF does not qualify you for disability. You qualify based on having allowed infection to eat away enough of your lungs so as to have reduced lung capacity below a certain threshold. Based on my last x-rays and the fact that it no longer hurts like a bitch to breathe, the hole in my left lung appears to be gone. So I will never qualify for disability. I am too competent.
