Well, the cog issues might last a L-O-N-G while, but each of us is different. I did come back 100% after 18 mo with the first attack, but then again I had a baby in the meantime. That'll mess up a person's head, even without TM.

The second time, I don't think I would have recovered any more then I did (after 2 yrs), but the LDN helped considerably.

Try to get your hands on that employee benefits information, Joe. Someone on this forum (I think it is this forum?) was fired from her job, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because she got LTD out of it.

We can't be fired from a job, here in Canada, while on STD or LTD. In fact, they had to keep my job open for 2 yrs after I went on LTD, although they could back-fill it in the meantime. I now get LTD + all my benefits (including life insurance and employer pension contributions), right through to retirement age.

I don't know what I'd do, trying to raise two daughters disabled, with no money to boot!!
