[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if you continue to feel this way you will NEVER get out of the situation you're in. You're thinking is toxic and unproductive.

I am 47, when I was 22 [b]I worked THREE jobs to pay my rent.[/b]  Couldn't afford a bed so I slept on the  floor. I saved my money, waited till I was 31 to get married. Found a great partner who shares my beliefs and who lifts me up, not drags me down. Together we have achieved a lot but in the time we NEVER felt sorry for ourselves.  [b]Stop using your health as an excuse[/b]. People with way more health issues than you have gone very far in life. Achieved a great deal financially, spiritually and personally.   Try having your arms and legs blown off....[/quote]

Well, good for you. Did you work your THREE jobs while having MS?

I bet you are a Republican.

Disgusting.[/quote]

My 57yo DH has MS.  He was diagnosed 30 years ago and is doing fine.  He walks with a limp, and cannot manage long distances, but on the whole he lives a normal life and works a normal job.  He hopes to work for another 10 years before retiring.

OP, I agree with the PP that at 22yo you are not the peer of most DCUM'ers.  Comparing yourself financially to 30-60yos is not useful to you.

I do hope you are getting good health care - when my DH was diagnosed there was nothing to be done, but there are effective drugs available now.  Be sure to seek out the best possible treatment.[/quote]\

Good for him!  But surely you understand that if he lost the sight in one eye for a month (like OP) or had another serious impact due to his MS, he would not be "using his health as an excuse" if he was unable to work because of it.  Absolutely people with MS can live normal lives, but there are also times when MS can have such serious impacts that it can be very challenging to hold a full time job.[/quote]
