Oh,

and at this stage he can barely walk. This after three days on steroids IV.

Which is just killing his blood sugar levels.

At this time, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI),

which comes from all previous work-related funds depo

sited into Social Security by your husband's employer

and by him. The sooner he applies, the better. Usually,

the individual-- even if approved--does not get Medicare

for two years from the date of application, so do keep you

present insurance. Many with MS and/or with Diabetes

do work. I would say that the herniated discs may get him

nine months on SSDI--thenn the Social Security Administration

re-asses things.

It is so very important to have documented in his medical record,

by his diagnosing and treating physicians, the degree to which he

is impacted--with respect to working--by each of his conditions.

Let us hope that all parties can view this realisticallly, despite his

relatively young age. (But that is what SSDI is supposed to be for!)

I think that you and he should be prepared--and I hope the site that

I sent will be of some help--for along and challenging battle.

I hope that his physicians do provide SSA with sufficient and con

vincing medical information to avoid the tedious process that can

take place to get SSDI. IF and when he does get it Medicare,

call 1-800-MEDICARE and ask for beneficiary expert to assist

in choosing a Part D Prescription plan.

Keep us updated on his progress, so we can help in whatever

way we can.

Love to you and to your husband, ,

Hello,

I am new to the group. My name is . I'm the mother of six

and the wife to a great man who was just diagnosed with MS. My husband is

42 and has been a long haul truck driver for 22 years. He is also a

diabetic who will now be on insulin. So that ends his career. Oh, he does

have two herniated discs in his neck that have to be repaired as soon as

possible also. We will be applying for SS disability. I really it's not as

long of a process as some have told me it was for them. I welcome all

advise.

We

have been informed that the diabetes will be a nightmare with the steroids. 

But his prior levels and ranges indicate it’s time for him to be on insulin.
