fellowship 7 years out due to health issues???

I've posted previously about considering leaving EM due to a back injury - I had a very successful disc replacement surgery 4.5 years ago, and that in of itself is a non-issue, save for my inability to get LTD at a rate that makes any sense. what IS an issue, however, is that I have a lung problem leading to recurrent and increasingly severe bouts of pneumonia. may or may not be related to newly diagnosed connective tissue disorder. yeah, never going to qualify for ANY individual LTD even... fellowship 7 years out due to health issues???
