Default What's Your EDSS Number?
Expanded Disability Status Scale

http://ms.about.com/od/multiplescler.../a/ms_edss.htm


I'm at a 6.5 according to my last Neurologist visit. Has your Neuro given you a number yet? If so, do you agree with it or feel like it should be more or less?

I'd give myself a 7. I'm hoping to get back to a 6.5.

My neuro has never mentioned it, nor have I asked. But I would be a 6.

I was under the impression that SS looked at it when determining whether you were approved for disability. Maybe it's different in different states?

Could well be. I'm not on Social Security disability, but CSRS. I was a fed.

It looks like I am a 5. How far of a distance is 100 meters?
