I have not heard of SSID; there is Social Security

Disability Insurance (SSDI); one can apply at the

local Social Security office in your area. At the

same time, if you and/or your family are low-income,

you should also apply for SSI (Supplemental Security

Income. SSDI eventually comes with Medicare; SSI

comes with whatever form of Medicaid your state offers;

for example, here in California, Medicaid is called:

"Medi-Cal." Both can be applied for through the Social

Security Administration offices. SSDI is what you would

get were you forced to retire at that date; only one gets it

for disability--same pot, same funds.

The above link should help to clarify things somewhat.

Love to each of you who may well need either one of these

programs and/or the state version of each of them.

What is the best place to look for work for someone with MS? I am a one year diagnosee and I have been on STD for a great many (8) weeks now and, as I do not know that my company will keep me on (can they even do that????) for much longer I am TERRIFIED about not having a job (Am still awaiting SSDI approval!!)

That brings me to another question? My doc said I could attempt back to work 3 days a week, no more than 4 hr shifts and after two weeks see her then she will decide if I can continue or not. With chronic MS by working will I be pushing this crap harder and go downhill faster?

Connie,

I find working helps me to take my mind

off my symptoms and live like a “regular” person. It is nice to be

away from the disease while I work. I work with learning disabled children and

when I teaching them--- I am helping someone. I wish I could explain it more eloquently

but I like being Mrs. Buran, the teacher, not Mrs. Buran the one with MS.

I know that others have more physically

limitations that hinder working but for me… it is still the right thing.

Have a great day,

Connie

With something like MS, you really have to know your own limitations. When I was working I knew my limitations, but I ignored it. I pushed myself harder than I should have. It's easy to do when you're a single mother trying to make an honest living. Even then, I knew I'd probably pay the price in the long run, but I was more concerned about how my kids were going to eat, having a roof over their heads, and clothes on their backs. I just didn't see any alternative. I'm still not sure what can be done for a person in that situation.

Love and blessings...

Thanks Connie, I won't work if it puts me totally disabled, I'm having a hard enough time now with things, but I miss that socializing of the job, I miss most of my customers too, not all of them tho! I hope it's right to try to go back and hope it doesn't push me further down
