It's 2025!
Ok folks, it's 2025, no more stalls, delays, detours, this year someone needs to decisively DO SOMETHING about MS. If you suspect it has to do with EBV, declare war on EBV, if you have a theory about 'Gut Bacteria', nuke em! If you think antiretroviral makes a difference give us the antiretroviral. Haha, my best wishes and hopes for all of you in this new year of recovering what we lost last year and ending stronger than we started. My plans for this year are winning my SSDI and several 'side projects' I can't elaborate without sounding like I am trying to sell them to you.
Anthonyp, I remember applying for SSDI in 1992, when I had the superstorm of an exacerbation that took my left leg out of commission for about three years and still hurts more than thirty years later. I filled out the forms in floods of tears, feeling like a complete lemon, and I got SSDI on my first application, but I used the most technical language I could, copied directly from my dour neurologist's case notes. I have often heard that SSDI is impressed by applications that use the most specific language and includes doctors' evaluations. Best of luck to you and let us know how it goes. I imagine the climate has changed considerably in the last thirty years!
