Patientx - yes, actually I have a Voc. Rehab counselor trying as we speak to get me into some local classes on web construction for free . . . its looking good but I won't be able to start them until after the new year . . . Actually, this was the very first thing I thought of since a good portion o...

You guys are the best! Thank you sooo much . . . I hadn't thought about the church option as my beliefs don't require a church, but I do happen to have a few friends that may be willing to sit down with me and see if we can brainstorm a few ideas . . . I've sent the link to this site to my family. I...

Thanks LyndaCarol . . . you just triggered some ideas :D Lyon - its in my medical records . . . They ask if you use drugs, and I figure a Dr. is not a cop so its best to be honest, so its in there that I used the cocaine about 25 years ago, and that I smoke to help the spasms and all the ridiculosit...

Yes, I know that's why they did it. I rather expected it honestly, it was an excellent disability plan if you could get it . . . I just didn't expect to be in a position with no money or insurance to fight it . .. I finally got state medical but it still requires that I come up with a copay . . . th...

How lucky for both you and her . . . especially her . . . I'm single and have men refuse to see me because of the MS . . . didn't want to watch someone they may love go downhill . . .

To your girl: Hang on to that man!!!

Hi all, I hate this because I feel like I'm whining but . . .

I vote for a tank top . . . gets pretty hot here in AZ . . . maybe black or white as choices?

I'm in AZ . . . before my diagnosis, I worked Tech Support for Intuit, but I had to take disability because I couldn't make it through an eight hour day because of the fatigue . . .

I saw three different neurologists when I was first diagnosed, I wanted all the opinions I could get, and they all agreed . . . When I lost my disability, I also lost my insurance . . . in order to appeal the decision I would have had to repeat all of my tests and include a lumbar puncture, I couldn...

My Insurance company turned down my disability claim stating that past cocaine and marijuana use most likely accounted for the lesions in my nervous system and the fatigue caused by MS . . . this was supposedly the conclusion of their neurological team . . . they said that since my Dr. didn't do a l...

I am facing the same difficulty with my immediate family not accepting my symptoms or limitations, for me however, its a bit worse. I was forced to move in with my brother because my first try at disability fell through (surprise). I lost my apartment and my income. Since I am single, there is no on...

Hi all . . . I was diagnosed a year ago with MS . . . its something I've felt coming for a long time so it was no surprise to me . . . I am "fortunate" that I am still walking unaided most of the time and my peripheral tests are still in the normal range . . . my problem? I suffer from all...
