Hello Again

Life swallows you up and you forget you're seriously ill until you have another relapse. I have to laugh otherwise I'll cry. Luckily, it's nowhere near as severe as my last just incredibly uncomfortable and is making work and study difficult. I'm also going to be starting my DMDs soon, I'm going to ...

Working time back at work- appointments

Hello all, Quick question, if you have appointments related to your condition that mean you need to leave work, under disability law do you have to make up the hours at work? Thank you :)

Heello yall, how is life goin for you, so I'm thinking 🤔 of going back to work. Since I was younger, I learned that I was diagnosed. So I have this diagnosis I am doing as well as I can be. I've learned to just be okay with this disability. I walk with a limp. Since I was younger I've dealt with this diagnosis. So I can't work a full day but I can still work. It will only put a few hours towards my work history.
