Ive finally decided i'll go onto disability

I’ve finally given up and decided that i’d be best on disability. I have fought that idea for such a long time now but it truly is the only logical thing left for me to do now.

I know I are slowly improving but I also know it is going to take me still a long time, (I think a few years from past experience), before I recover from this CFS relapse which has lasted for over a year.

In a way its a relief to me to come to this final decision. On disability allowance I will also receive more money too, so finally will be able to buy all the supplements Im meant to be taking which my CFS specialist wants me on. I find they really help me, but of late I just havent been able to afford to get all the things I need to be on and hence my condition went down a little again.

I see my CFS specialist next week, so will be taking the government medical forms I need to get filled in then and hopefully the specialist will do it thou he’s only seen me a few times. My disability support officer is going to help me to get onto the disability allowance too, so hopefully I will not have too many hassels.

fingers crossed as I really dont need more stress.

After having CFIDS for many years, I was just approved for SSDI in July. It took me 1 1/2 years to get it, but it was well worth the fight. I understand how hard it is to get to the point where you realize that you just can’t work anymore. I was always a workaholic and a type A personality, so it is still taking me some time to get used to not working, but we do what we have to do. Good luck to you!

thank you :slight_smile: .
