Hi Sally.Thanks for the understanding.... I'm realizing how much it means to talk to others who just get it..... Others say they do, they really think they do. they really try to, but they can't really...... Yes, I've been on copaxone injections for about 3 yrs now. I also take Provigil to just get to work most days... but it's not as effective for me as of recently.... I've had to take so many days off lately just because either I can't move or talk or I have some kind of unrelated infection, which of course takes me longer to fight due to the M.S. Right now I've been out for couple days for a surprise resperatory infection... but usually it's due to the fatigue... My cognitive issues are really getting worse. Some scary things have been happening lately. It's becoming more of a reality that I won't be able to keep this up for much longer. I'm killing myself to keep everything going.... Have you or any of the other members had to deal with quitting your beloved career to apply for medical disability? That's what I'm facing and it makes me so upset to even think about it, but it's getting closer I fear. It terrifies me to think of how to even begin.... how to support myself while waiting since I understand I can't have a paycheck when I apply, so I will have already needed to quit or be laid off... It seems almost impossible. I'm divorced. My son is in college and lives with me and is still depending on me.... What do people do about this? I'd love to hear of some stories from this group on how they deal with this.... Thanks so much. I feel so blessed that I've found this group. - Denise
