Mo.Quit the house keeping part of your job.
I worked in a mailroom for three yrs lifting 80 lb mail bags daily.
Now I clean two -three hrs a day.
You have to support you and your son.
Please see a doctor even if you do not want to be on meds.
Good luck.
Hugs,Joann
Since u have been working..we don't see u as disabled. If u were on state assistance (welfare) we' d be able to look past this but u work and therefore we can't help u." Will never forget those bullshit words...
Their logic makes absolutely no sense. People on assistance can get disabled but those who are disabled but MUST work DESPITE the disability aren't disabled?
I wish I had the answer to your dilemma. It's a crazy attitude. How are you supposed to live with NO income, unless you have a husband or family to support you? You can't.
Hi Mo, I remember the day my body would no longer let me keep going, it was horrible! I had was doing hair everyday 6 days a week, 8 to 12 hours on my feet. Had to be fast. But this stopped it, I didn't want to give up what I loved so I've had to switch gears. I help people on the phone with hair questions, I advise a lot. I make kits for students who will be taking their practical tests. I do anything I can do, that will allow me to do it in my own time. When and where I can and staying in my business. I have been to the point your are time and time again. Eating totally organic foods has really helped the pain, I don't take pain meds because they numb my personality too. I drink coconut and almond milk. I drink protein shakes, and I keep my body moving as much as I can, But then I lay down and give myself an hour in a book then get up again and do something else. I do what I can and when I can. You have to shift your thinking, if you don't take care of yourself you won't be able to take care of anyone. The only medicine I feel I can't function without is my depression med, anxiety med, muscle relaxant, sleep med and med to help me sleep more than 2 or 4 hours. I had a hard time of sleeping, it blindsided me. Keep progressing in any little way that you can, figure out what you can do. I would stay in school, and try to find a job you can do at home. Which I know is easier said than done. My heart and prayers are with you, hang in there please. You will come up with the ways to change things so you can do what you want and survive. tracie
