I know how you feel - I work full time also and have had mg for about 11 years. However, I do work in an office behind a desk which helps since I am not having to move around a lot during the day. However, the stress can sometimes get to me also.

I took a 6 week short term disability leave last fall because I was so weak and exhausted. That really helped and I've been having weekly IVIG for about 6 months. I am finally able to stretch the IVIG to every 2 weeks and I'm feeling a lot stronger.

It tends to be a day by day, week by week, month by month process. My employer does know about my mg and they have been great, which I am thankful for.

As far as the disability, I know there are quite a few people on this forum who are on disability and can better advise you on that.

Good luck and hang in there!
