[quote=Anonymous]I just got covid for the first time, my worst manifested symptoms were intense body aches and joint pain - I took Paxlovid, took great care of myself and I’m into my second month with covid joint pain and officially diagnosed with long covid.

I’m very, very grateful that I don’t have the kaleidoscope of symptoms that many others do, including cognitive dysfunction that makes it difficult or impossible to do a job that is largely based in critical thinking and memory based skills.

I took a lovely walk with my dog today - I experienced pain the entire time, but as it turns out, decades of studies have shown that the very best treatment of musculoskeletal pain is movement.

A friendly game of tennis would be good movement for many folks managing viral arthritis.

Disability isn’t a huge paycheck for most people - certainly not SSDI. Maybe with the federal job disability on top it’s a nicer paycheck but nobody’s getting rich on it and as a one time legal aid attorney who assisted paralegals who worked on SSDI claims, I can attest that it is not an easy system to game, despite misconceptions.

By all means OP if you think your neighbor is a disability cheat you should make a report so she can be investigated. [/quote]
