Good idea about scooter, this will save you energy. Some places have scooters to Sign out when you get to work and on your way in buildings.
If not, you should look into this and see if your Health Insurance cam help wih cost. Good Luck

I had this problem & got a scooter. It really helped with my energy & fatigue levels.
The down side was the company I worked for portrays themselves as being all about their associates. Not so much. Be sure how your employer feels about it.

It can happen quickly, but you have to have the medical records to back it up. I worked at a non profit and was really struggling. It was a cause I believe in and didn't want to leave, but choice was be fired for ineffectiveness or do disability. I was picked up first submission. Has really made me wonder since if I was hindering the cancer patients I worked with.

Point - I had work history and med records for 20 years of disease along with new findings of sleep disorder and even reduced iq from slowed cognition. SSD stinks. And, there's a major limit on what you're allowed to make while drawing payments.

You really should make an appointment with your SSA office and get started.

Having MS does not automatically make you eligible for SSDI benefits nor does having fatigue as a result of MS qualify you for benefits

One of the things that the SSA looks very hard at when determining one's eligibility for SSDI benefits is whether or not the individual is still able to do the job that they've been trained to do as well as if the individual can be retrained to perform another job. . Not taking medical history in consideration the fact that you're currently working and your 46 both work against you in being eligible anytime in the near future
.
Though your Doctors do not have a say in the SSA approval process , your medical records have to support the fact that your MS has progressed to point that it has impacted your daily living, that you find ADL's (Activities of Daily Living) very difficult as well as has made it impossible to work. Therefore you need to discuss your situation with your Doctors first.
