Working with MG?
I am really struggling with a relapse of my MG. I've been in the hospital twice since April and had several IVIG treatments, etc. I have missed soooo much time from work and my employer is losing patience with my disease. Our company is too small to qualify for FMLA. I am reluctant to go on disability because I keep hoping that I will go into remission soon. In the meantime, I use up all my strength at my job and then collapse at the end of the day. I spend my weekends resting so that I can go back to work on Monday. I would REALLY appreciate your feedback about how you all handle your disease and working. Are most of you on disability? Do you work part-time? I live alone so I don't have any help from a spouse. If you are on disability did it take a long time to get it? I'm really scared of letting go of my job, insurance and benefits but I'm exhausted! Thanks.
