"I feel your pain" sounds corny, but it's so true. It was very depressing to observe the decline in my capacity to do my job, the job I loved for almost 30 years by the time I retired on disability.

I was afraid that I'd make a blunder that would make real problems for a customer, and the stress of thinking that, of course, increased my anxiety and other symptoms.

You're right, no one can live on disability, but we're sure trying.

I'll be interested to hear what other folks have for suggestions about how you can present yourself honestly, but without saying to a prospective employer: "Hi, I have MS...will you hire me anyway?"
