do u have enough credits to qualify for SSDI? to live on medicaid ssi is hard as crap n thats y alot of people go under the radar. i was 26 when i applied for SSDI. crazy i worked enough to gain credits for ssdisability. now yea its more but def not enough to live on especially wit meds n stuff. if u work at a good company wit decent benefits go thru their shiirt term disability n from there its possible to get long term disability as a second income from ur job. idk how the laws n rules in Canada are but i lucked out. but tthe months that i was waiting for a decision me and my bf were living rent free (my dad owns the house im in the bsmt) for a while. we still live here cuz even with the income i have its not enough to move out of an urban neighborhood

All I can really say to you is how I totally understand about singletom and the difficulties of having MS at an early age.
I was diagnosed with RRMS 15 years ago and the one thing I still hold now at 34 is my virginity and extra lonelyness because none of my friends wanted to deal with my sudden strange/ scarey illness that no-one belived I said I had cause they saw I still had both legs and all that; so I must just be being lazy again and trying to be a spoiled rich girl and not use my right leg right!

I never have been rich or from a weathy family, my family is much more like the Ingels family on Little House on the Praire. I just thought it was nice that the new "fancy" Dr. a Neurologist (Which I hadn't heard of before in all my grade-school years) got me onto (The SSI and DSSI that I began collecting off of my fatha for a while) so I'd be able to see him and have other "fancy" things like MRIs to check an obviously no-existant illness I claimed to now have and then also some "medication" that I also claimed made me feel horrible the day after I took it...

Now I very much know that any SSI bearley keeps a person from having the kind of life they dreamed of, but if you can find a place that accepts disability/ Section 8 payments and you could still do most things for yourself, like getting to the bathroom and going to a phone to order a cab to drive you places like the Dr.s office and to get foods, you can live a reasonable life and just have the thoughts of having mizerable plans of doing what we alll will do at some point in our lives.

Try getting a roommate. Call all the MS organizations and ask for resources. Look into part
time job if possible. You need professional advice from social worker for your options. I wish the very best to you.

Thank you all for your very kind support. MS can be so difficult on all levels. I really appreciate your suggestions and hearing about your own lives.
