So I am still working fortunately, and luckily have FMLA for when I have my bad days/flare ups/MS hug. But I have noticed this past winter it took more of a toll on me than usual.

I was diagnosed with MS about two years ago, and there are so many ups and downs with it. At 37 I had a heart attack due to stress and I’m also battling degenerative disc disease in my lower back and now I may need surgery to combat that issue. I don’t mean to complain I just wanted to vent a litt...
