Hi, Shar. Welcome.

Unfortunately, it's different for everyone. I know a woman who can work but she is maxed out on drugs most of the time. I can't work, mainly because I can't do a lot of the MG drugs and have to use only Mestinon and rest to get better.

It's a tough choice of whether or not to be run down all the time and work or to try to go on social security disability. You can do very part time work while on soc. sec. but not much. I wish I could still work because not doing so has been quite depressing (it's been over 10 years for me).

You should probably discuss this with your neurologist. They can be very "objective" when it comes to things like this.

You have a lot on your plate and it's up to you to determine what you can handle or not. You can try to simplify your life, like using paper plates and avoiding doing dishes, etc. This disease is so stupid because you can be okay one day and crap the next, even if you take it easy.

I hope you can work it all out. It's really hard, isn't it?
