Hi Sean, I am sorry you are going through such hell....Everyone has given such good advice, as far as Social Security goes, I believe they have a "trial work program" meaning that you can try to go back to work, up to 9 months, and still get your benefits no matter how much you make at your other job. If it doesn't work out, you go back on SSDI from what I understand. I believe the same applies to Medicare, actually the coverage lasts longer, I just don't know the exact number of months....check into it, it might be worth it to you and take some of your pressures off. Go to the Social Security site and check it out, wouldn't hurt to go to the Medicare site either. That way, your meds would still be covered...not sure about the Medicare part D stuff though, not sure if that is "attatched" to Medicare as far as continuing your benefits. I think it is..but don't take my word for it. Here's a snippet about SSDI and the trial work program...

I feel for you, and completely understand your frustration... Not sure if I could give you any advice, but maybe you could check out some job agencies... they tent to help in placement with a job. I hope all goes well for you! Keep up the good spirits, and know that you have not done anything wrong.
