I was diagnosed in 2009 with multiple sclerosis. I loved nursing but the MS had cost me the vision in one eye and the fatigue was debilitating. I worked for as long as I could but finally had to go on disability. I had an office job doing Medicare appeals but finally my cognitive functioning declined. Fortunately I have a supportive family and I had disability insurance through my company. I will tell you if you have to apply for your disability to get an attorney. The disability company is not your friend. They denied my disability and denied my disability. They will talk very sweetly and pretend they are concerned. Within 2 weeks of getting an attorney I had my disability. Of course now he gets 30% of my check. The sad thing is I wrote the appeals up just like he did but I didn't have the attorney behind my name.
