Applying for Disability in the U.S.

Anyone have experience with applying for disability? I’ve heard it takes a REALLY long time to get approved, and most people get declined, is this true? Also, if you are still working does that disqualify you from receiving benefits?

Fatigue?

What is fatigue? Is it just when you feel sleepy all of sudden? I drink coffee so I’m able to stay up at work but even tho I drink coffee I once I’m finished with my coffee I still feel sleepy or I get more tired?

lately i just haven’t been ok, im fighting other battles besides MS & i just want to hide under a rock. it’s hard finding a decent job, hard getting approved for disability or housing. HARD to find housing … im just tired & overwhelmed & the more i talk about it, its like my MS starts wit the tingling in my cheek, can no longer get my words out … i just know im tired & the fact i no longer have my mom just makes me feel worse… 😔😔😔😔

Legs aches

Just going about my day today and resting until work. Then I get a twitching spasm in my left arm. Now my right leg is aching & the heating pad is not very effective. Anyone else have leg aches rather than pain?

Telling co-workers

Do you think it’s a good idea to tell co-workers about having MS? This way they understand when you forget things or walk funny. What do you think?
