Homeless With MS
Posted: Wed May 24, 2017 12:57 pm
Hello,
I received my diagnosis of MS a couple of years ago after struggling with symptoms for many years. The tipping point was optic neuropathy in 2011 which led to an MRI of the brain. It has been difficult. I've managed to keep working but a recent hospitalization led to being evicted and left homeless. I think a great mistake of mine was not applying for disability earlier. I have started the process now so hopefully that will help. Despite MS I have still managed to improve other areas of my life. I got my college degree at 47 and was Outstanding Sophomore of my school. If you Google Scotty Rushing Florida Tech you can see the stories they did on me. Anyway, I searched MS message boards to find someone to talk to. I don't have any family and it gets hard sometimes.Thanks for listening.
