Re: disiability issue

[Guest guest]

I'm going to play devils advocate. Keep in mind, this is just my

opinion. I can't speak well, but can't still write. He he.

Work it.

two simple words but we have to do that. We have to get used to

working in our " ms world " . I recently went through many of the same

symptoms and the same " damn I just can't do it phase " but I forced

myself everyday to practice living with dizziness and speech loss.

My new co-workers think better of me because I've been honest with

them about what is going on. They back me up at the bank when I

start losing my speech, they no longer get frustrated with me

because I've just bumped into them for the 80th time. And even

though about every other day I think I can't do it anymore and just

want to curl into a ball and cry, I force myself to give it one more

day. Thankfully, each day is a stepping stone and I'm learning to

manage this disease. Don't give up just yet!!!

still have the balance issues and cognitive issues. Although some

of the symptoms are not severe every day, they still prohibit me

from doing things more days than not. Some days I don't feel safe

driving. Some days I can't do house work because of the fatigue or

even the balance or pain. I know you all know what I am going

through, but just wanted some advice on how to explain this to my

neuro so he will approve me going on long term disability without

doubt that it is what I need.

Do you have an appointment with your neuro? I would write everything down so you don't forget and highlight the things that are the worst. If you lose your balance from the vertigo or have fallen be sure to tell him. Do you MS fatigue and have to sleep during the day? Be sure to say you don't feel safe driving and why.Good luck with all of this. I'll be thinking about you!hugs))Sharon This email is a natural hand made product.
