I was diagnosed almost 2 yrs ago at the age of 37 and immediately started taking Copaxone.
I was wondering how long you can work after diagnosis? I work in an office so I do alot computer work and work 6 days a week around 48-50 hours a week. I know if I worked anywhere I had to stand for long periods of time I would have quit by now.
I am still going strong, I have some brain fog and forgetfulness. By biggest problem is fatigue and cognative issues. I am just wondering how long I can keep working. Financially I am in ruins with alot of debt. I do not have the money to put aside for when I can not work. I am the major breadwinner in the house.
I am comtemplating filing for bankruptcy so I can start saving for my future. My credit is already shot so it will not be a big deal. I just don't want to have to quit and then if I am approved for disability it won't be enough to pay my mortgage.
I already feel my MS slowing me down in the 2 short years. I am extremely tired when I get home from work so no house work is getting done. My kids are helpful at some point but I feel guilty asking them to clean the whole house while I sit on the couch and watch tv. they already do alot for me but I don't have the energy to fold and put laundry away and they do the laundry.
I am just sick of my house being a mess and I would like to at least cut down on my hours to only 5 days a week 40 hours but that would hurt financially.
I guess I just want to be able to prepare a little for the future, even though I am still in denial that I have MS at all. I just can't accept it, so I just deny it.
