disability.
i was approved for disability. i'm really not sure how i feel about this. i am glad that the financial burden of this disease will be lessened dramatically, however i am sad that this is where things stand. of course i want to get better, and of course i have to accept the fact that this illness is permanent.

well glad that is resloved for you.....i try to hang on to the belief that maybe it isn't a permanent disease.....(i said "try" :))
Getting disability is a mixed bag if there ever was one. On the one hand you must feel relieved about the financial side of things, but on the other it reminds you of how bad your illness is at the moment.
I hope I'll be seeing you tonight.
Sending hugs and congratulations. I know when my father was approved, he cried with relief and sadness.
Well Bridget I think I'm in denial because I beleive there is going to be a cure for our disease. There just has to be, because I cant see myself living this way 15 years from now. Thats so cool you finally got disability, and dont feel bad about it. Take care
I see you're in the USA. I have another USA friend with Masto who is fighting for disability...I'm wondering if you could message me with some details of your application/process so we can help her. The financial distress this illness causes is incredible...
