Chris, Yep, there are a lot of us nurses on the boards. I was an active nurse until last year. Finally after 39 yrs of nursing was forced to retire on disability. I've done it all from med surg, critical care, and finally case management for an insurance company. The stresses of MS and working were just finally just too much.

Somehow when I was young I never imagined that my MS would get so bad that I just couldn't work anymore.

Luckily I had all of the right disability insurances and so life without work hasn't been too bad. My advice to everyone with MS is get all of the disability insurance you can afford as quickly as you can. It's a rare person with MS that makes it to 65 without needing to retire due to their MS symptoms.

Hope you can continue to enjoy many more years of active working. Betty
