Disability

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

I was seeing things in different colors out of each eye and the pain behind my eyes was horrific. I had a horrible migraine type of headache and was falling down and exhausted. I hid my symptoms best I could and secretly used a wheelchair is places where people could not see me.

I ended up going blind not long after this and was bedridden.

I also was told that "I would no longer have a job" two weeks after the diagnosis.

I was too sick to fight them and lawyers to defend me were few if any.

I ended up being "disability retired" from job. I got a pension of $50 a month and medical benefits.

And here I today, I have medical insurance and live in poverty.

Thanks for nothing ADA!
