Both Carol and Sally raise fantastic points.

I actually refuted this originally, when the tax individual told me I'd be eligible for it. I said, "But I'm able to work". The working v not working with MS determines the amount you're refunded, from what I understood.

Kinda like the air conditioner tax benefit, in a way I guess. Even though heat actually benefits me in many ways with my symptoms, I'd still be able to claim an air conditioner come tax time if I purchased one, because I have MS.

We could be speaking about completely different deductions etc. The tax individual printed mine out, my coworker photocopied the ones I had in hand, and her neuro submitted them.

My medications don't cost any less than the same medication another individual with MS has. Everyone with this crummy disease has crazy expenses, working or not working. The fact that I am working could be exacerbating my symptoms (pain). I know it gets much worse the more I get stressed. Pain's a tricky one though... think of how many neuros you hear saying pain isn't a symptom of MS.

Anyways, good discussion here on all sides.
