Hi Draggin',

I applied for long term disability through my employer and I was approved. I have similar areas of weakness as you, except my legs aren't really affected...I don't think that you'll have a problem...I think that you're right that with MG, it's sorta a 'no-brainer,' unless a person has the pure ocular type. Even then, I think that it's still possible as that weakness can be very severe and limiting too (especially if it doesn't respond to medication).

Good luck!
Nicky
