Hey all
Some of you may remember me, I've been here for a while, but I've
been really busy as of late. For those of you who don't know me, my
name's jennifer and I am 27. I was diagnosed at 9 with mctd
(raynauds, sjogren's, vasculitis, polymyositis, rheumatoid). I was
on med's (naproxyn and methotrexate) til 17. Been off since i was 17
and have been blessed by the ablity to have been able to work full
time at tim hortons since and lead a somewhat normal life.
unfortunately my illness is starting to flare up really bad and I am
hoping to find out some information about going onto disability. I
tried once many years ago when working just took it all out of me and
i was flaring up too much and was too stressed out -- but they said
(despite the med reports) that they could only give me level 1 as i
couldn't prove it was a chronic illness ----- I had a really bad FAW
and CW -- and ended up giving up -- fidining it easier to deal with
the pain than the BS..... However, I am curious if anyone else has
had these problems and would love any suggestions you can all offer
me on how to go about getting this ball rolling. Thanx

Jennifer
