Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I was fired from my job after missing too many days. My previous employer knew I had RA. It makes it especially difficult because he (employer) is also my family Dr. I understand they have a business to run and me not being able to physically meet the demands of the terms of the employment wasn't conducive to the business, but I am depressed as hell. I am going to be 33 years old and feel like my life is being taken away from me. I am in so much pain everyday.. even with pain meds. I have a port and do Remicade Infusions, I also take Arava. I am going to see my Rheumatologist tomorrow. I have applied for Disability (and unemployment) If you were approved for Disability for RA- can you share your story? What was the process like? Anytime I get sick it takes FOREVER to get better. I went to work sick so many days- the days I didn't, I absolutely couldn't. The guilt and sadness I feel inside is overwhelming.
