MDJunction to me

Storm6751"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
I would truly be lost without MDJunction... to me its my savior, my personal place to go where i don’t feel so alone anymore in the world.

I just want to put this out there maybe one of you will be able to answer this....

If I do get diagnosed with Seizures and have Fibro... am I eligible for disability?

Hubby asked me if I would be and I could not answer him...

What do you think?

You still can only just try. It's like my situation I had many conditions recognized by ss and alot of drs backing me up with loads of medical records and still had a battle but did win in the end. It's always worth a shot for anyone. Love ya, Stacey
I suffer from Rapid Progressive MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Epilepsy, Migraines, Neuropathy, IBS, Narcolepsy, Arrythmia, Arthritis and too much more complete list on profile.

I'm not currently active due to many personal and medical issues. I will not be participating in MDJ for awhile, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I hope everyone is well and I appreciate all of the thoughts, kind words and messages. I have tried to respond as much as possible and apologize if I have not gotten back to everyone. Love & Hugs, Stacey

It's never easy, I think they want people to give up but my answer would be yes, go for it. I was very lucky with my case only taking approx a year and not having to go to court. PM me if you have any specific questions, remember, you can't be working when you apply.
