I have primary prog. ms i cant except it or believe it. I got dx over a year ago. I try to do the thing im used to do but my legs some times dont let me do it. Like the other day i wasnt useing my cane and i fell on my face, sprand or have a hair line fracture in my left wrist, Went to the doc they put a splint on it. I go back in two week for another exray cuz of the swelling has to go down. Im using my cane a little more so i dont hurt it any more. any advise for me. i work 10hr a day 4days a week its hard toward the end of the day but i keep plugging away. Alot of people said i should go on ssdi. I refused to cuz im not diabled.

Well, I can't speak for you but I consider myself disabled. I have fibro and don't work or drive anymore. If you saw me however you wouldn't say I was disabled. I, too resisted the title for a long time. Then my daughter was diagnosed with a learning DISABILITY. Kinda changed things for me as I had to explain it to her. Being disabled to me just means I need a little more help then those who might not. My body functions in a much different way than it used to. I think it is all in the way you look at it. I don't work because my cognitive ability is all jacked up and I don't drive because I take to many meds. If working is getting to be to much for you look into other alternatives....that is what they are there for. But certainly please...do not look at yourself as less than because you might be disabled. It is not a bad thing...just a thing. Ok? I wish you the very best.

i still work full time, but there are days that i am overstressed by noon and spend my lunch hour quietly recomposing. i just can`t imagine not working yet as i don`t feel disabled either. ( i also have ppms and was dx in late 2000 ) never go without your assistive devices. trust me on that, i learned the hard way!! see if you can take more frequent breaks and try to minimize stress in anyway you can.whatever you do, i wish you the best. dave

AS USUAL I AGREE WITH DAVE. ADJUSTING IS SO HARD WITH MS BUT I FEEL WE WERE GIVEN MS BECAUSE WE R STRONG ENUF TO DEAL WITH IT. TAKE CARE OF URSELF FIRST....STRESS DOESN'T HELP US....IT IS HARD TO ADJUST TO HAVING TO DO LESS OR DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY BUT IF IT KEEPS U FROM HURTING URSELF IT'S WORTH IT. SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY STILL ALLOWS U TO WORK. DOES UR EMPLOYER KNOW U HAVE MS? THEY MAY GIVE U SOME SLACK. KAREN
