Sorry for the length, want to get my message across of my situation, and find ANY and all advice possible. Thanks if you read! Wont blame you if you dont. Well Im out of work right now due to MS. I live in US(CA, mention because can count on advice Im seeking). Im from a job were you stand on your feet, save for breaks. I require walking with a cane, which has been deemed as a no go for working with. If I went in with a cane anyways, it would be a nightmare, knowing what it requires. My deal is Im as of last week pending for long-term disability, and now being advised to start SSI. I came from a job just a hair over minimum wage. I also am the sponsor for me and my wifes health insurance, which were losing end of Sept(6 months since I worked). My wife is doing everything she can to get a job her degree can provide, alas jobs are slim where we are at. I feel like the worst husband ever, she drives a hour there, works 9 hours, comes home(11 hour day, of course) and shes exhausted for the day(has a stand on your feet job as well). Anyways, my disability covers two-thirds of what I used to make, which doesnt seem to even make things work right now. Got bills to pay, luckily living with my parents right now to ease monthly finances(DX when I was 17, parents well aware of what this does to me). I appreciate everything everyone around me is giving, but Im tired of assuming all I get is this crappy paycheck(nothing else available to me) and sit on bum all day while my family busts their butts everyday, running circles around me. Does anyone use Medicare? Medi-Cal? Any other financial resources available to me for my diagnosis and low income? Will my low income not count since I am currently not paying a business for a mortgage/rent? Financial support for food? Any other means that seems like something you caught out of the blue and didnt know existed, that can help someone else with MS, such as a resource/organization? I know I cannot do much physically right now, but if I can find something like this to ease the burden on myself and loved ones. I want to seize it. I am googling, but come to some dead ends it seems. I am still trying. If you got this far reading this, thanks for your time! God bless you all and keep fighting the good fight!
