Oh man, Jana...That sounds horrible! Thank God you were approved, but it shoulda been done right away...I read that thing too...About the severe bulbar/motor weakness, and this is where I got my assurance that I wouldn't have trouble.

Mind you, I'm in Canada, and I also applied for this through my employer's insurance. I haven't applied for CPP (same thing as SSI sorta). My boss was completely behind me 100%.

Sorry you went through that! I was very stressed out while waiting for my approval too- being denied would have sent me over the edge, emotionally and MG-wise too- it's bad enough to have this, but then to have to worry about living in a cardboard box is too much (figuratively)....
