I have been out of work for almost one year now due to our gracious illness MS.  This has been due to falls, broken bones.  As you know this illness does not get better, to all of our regret it worsens.  As with me it has done just that.  I have gone from being able to get around just fine with the help of a cane to needing  wheelchair that I really need to use but because it do not always use good sense use it.  The afternoon fatigue is the real killer.  In the morning I really do all right, Provigil really does not work anymore and I take 2 pills a day so you see I am immune to it now.  I only take it now when I need a boost, and it barely works, I can even take it at bedtime, and I can still go straight to sleep, so you see the more you take the less it works, let that be a warning to potential users.  I am waiting on disability to make their decision, I have acquired an attorney so I am in a wait and see mode.  If I go back to work which my doctor would have to agree to and she very well may not, I will have to apply for Medicaid to cover my meds which I do not mine doing until disability kicks in, we are living on one income now, which is fine, we are good financially which is better than some, we own our rabbit box, so I got a place to stay, no car payments so I will always have a piece of bread, and I can buy more handbags that is the most important thing.  A girl has got to do what a girl has got to do, right.Innocent  So if it were you would you go back to work, knowing, that it would take everything in you just to get out of bed, and get dressed.  Be able just to make it through the day.  Everyone, down there says, don't put yourself through it, because it is not worth it, and preserve your health.  I am asking for you guys opinion, what would you do.  Please be honest.  Sherry/smomdukesKiss
