Disability?

Has anyone had any success with filling for disability? My Dr wants to start treatment but my insurance does not cover medication. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey everyone! New here 😊 I’m in the USA and recently had to stop working about 7 weeks ago. My neurologist is suggesting signing up for disability. Anyone have any insight!? I’m nervous and have been told it’s a long process! TIA 🫶🏼

For those of you who have needed to stop working and get on disability, what's been your experience? Personally, I haven't been able to work since May of this year and don't foresee myself going back to work anytime soon (I'm a massage therapist). I've been on state disability since the beginning of...

I'm too the point where I cant stay on my feet long at work. I'm having mobility issues and I'm constantly tired and fatigued. I need guidance and advice on how I can acquire disability perhaps, and what options I have.

Not sure if this is too personal to ask but for those who have had to give up work and take disability, about how long was the process for you?

I know it’s different for everyone. But it will be a possibility for me in the near future and I’m just curious.

Anyone have Ms for years without disability?

I’m 18 and my symptoms are pretty bad. I wake up multiple times a night with numb limbs and get constant facial spasms and twitches. These symptoms occur every single day non stop. I’m scared on what will happen in my future. Anyone have any stories?

I was diagnosed 17 years ago. Started with Tecfidera then Ocrevus, and now Kesimpta. My question/frustration is as follows. What should i expect from my Dr.? He is a neurologist. I see him 1 time a year which follows an MRi. We meet for 10 minutes and he tells me the MEI showed “ no remarkable changes”. Appointment complete. I get nothing about me and my progressing disability. I feel like a data point and nothing else. Thoughts? Thanks
