Well funny you should ask, I have no clue. Because I am unable to work I am on assistance which means I have to jump thru hoops on their timetable rather than my own.
In the very back of my head I liked to keep the thought that everyone is wrong & I don't have EDS & by next summer I'll be able to take up jogging to loose this bit of weight I gained from the Neurontin. I can be the me that is a size 4 & wears platform heels everywhere. The me I was 4 years ago, sure I hurt & had times when I couldn't walk cause my legs wouldn't work, but hey those days were few & far between.
I went yesterday to the dr to talk about my prognosis since the assistance office sent me a letter saying I had to either get back to work or apply for SSDI. I asked if he thought I ought to apply, expecting him to say either he had no opinion or maybe. He said that normally he doesn't suggest it to people, but in my case it'd be a very good idea too & he'd help any way he could. I feel a bit gutted by that I guess. I'm only on my early 30s, I should be applying for social security. I guess this answers my question as to if I am disabled or not.
