I can use one finger and my thumb on both hands just no speed ...and my speech (i do telemarketing) is now giving out too. So, Im being realistic. I may have to quit if I dont get better soon. Are any of you getting SSI? If so, how hard is it to do. Did you get denied alot or is MG kinda a no brainer? As it should be.

I applied for Social Security Disability even before I had a diagnosis of MG and received my first check exactly 5 months later. Good Luck. You have to be very explicit in saying and describing what you can and cannot do; for example: how many feet you can walk without becoming short of breath etc. I also applied on line.
