    I remembered my log-in

    Hi, I’m back
    I forgot my log-in info and haven’t been able to post in years! I finally found the right combination and here I am.

    A quick recap: I was diagnosed in 2011 with mostly left leg weakness and a blurry right eye when my body temp was slightly elevated. My eye returned to normal, but my leg continued to progress. On Copaxone for a couple years, Tecfidera for 2-3 and now on Ocrevus. Had a baclofen pump
    implanted 2014. I now use a rollator around the house and a manual wheelchair for longer distances which my husband is comfortable pushing. I also have a scooter for certain types of outings.

    I was approved for SSDI in December, 2018. My LTD provider hired a law firm to handle the paperwork and I was approved in a month. So relieved!

    I’ve been happily married for 31 years and we have two beautiful children who live and work in our city, Minneapolis. My parents and my sister live 15 minutes from me, so I have plenty of support.

    Thanks for reading through all of this. Now I can respond to and ask questions when appropriate.

      Ha, I just discovered that I was last on the boards just about a year ago. Seems longer than that. I guess awareness of the passing of time is something to work on!

          Do you think the awareness of how time passes is changed somewhat when we don't go to work anymore?

                  I think that not working has definitely made it more challenging to gauge the passing of time. I was a teacher before the disability, so always had that start and stop time to help define the years passing.

                    That's understandable for sure, with you having been a teacher!
