2 questions-fatigue and disability

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am wondering about medication for severe fatigue.Is anyone on

anything to get them through the day? I have been taken off Enbrel

which was a Godsend to me and now am on only Methotrexate which takes

awhile for it to work and my pain and inflamation is making my body

exhausted.What can I ask my Rheumy to prescribe me if anything?

Also, I am quite ignorant when it comes to disability,even though at

the moment Im on Short term Disability till Sep 12.Can you still apply

for SSD while you are still working?I know it might sound strange, but

Im not in that great of shape and I still need to work and I hear all

the horror stories of having to wait years, my God, if Im bad NOW, how

the heck am I going to be in the future, ya know!?

Thank you for all your help in advance.
