Ms, Diabetic,osteoarthritis And Sleep Apnea Posted: 01-13-04 23:02pm
I have recently been dianosed with ms, I
have had sleep apnea for 10 yrs. Use a
cpap machine,osteoarthritis for at least
15 yrs, diabetic for 8yrs. (pill
controlled),
i have an under active thyroid, on
eltroxin. Also a bulging disc in the 2nd
vertabrae in my neck which is pushing on
my spinal cord. I am 45 yrs. Old, female
and I have been a chef for 20 yrs. And
finally no longer can keep up with the
pace. Trying to get my pension but not
sure if my doctor will say that with all
my ailments that my life span could be
shorten. He still thinks I can work. Has
anyone had this problem and do I have a
good reason to request my pension.. To
help with my family debt load and medical
bills.

Why don't you get a second opinion. I
have osteoarthritis, ms, carpal tunnel
syndrome and hashimoto's thyroiditis. I
am on permanent disability. I am 54. Try
talking to a lawyer that deals with
disability insurance. They may have some
suggestions. Good luck.
