Well, here is the situation, thanks to much of legislation today, most if not all educational loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy or otherwise. However, there are a couple of exceptions -- yours may be one. Be careful though, because if you are successful, it actually may preclude you from working completely in the field in which you received your education or otherwise -- i.e., you are too sick, so cannot work, so debt is discharged but if so sick, then why are you working? That would be the question.
If you wish to attempt to get your loan discharged, talk to a bankruptcy attorney. I am not saying file for bankruptcy, but a bankruptcy lawyer can help you in terms of such discharge procedures, in general. At least consult with one. Try www.attorneypages.com and then check his or her record at the Texas State Bar.
