I know this gets posted frequently, but I didn't want to jump on someone else's post looking for help/ just ranting about my own problems.
I was officially diagnosed about 4 ish years ago, but have only had one year of infusions and methotrexate, then a year off thanks to moving and long ass waiting lists) and am just starting Humira next week. I have other medical issues, like seizures, messed up back, neck, and lots of other dumb things.
I'm only 35, and my work history isn't fantastic, I usually have had to quit a job because of pain or just not being able to do what they need of me.
I talked to an attorney yesterday and he flat out told me I had no chance. I was too young, hadn't paid into the system enough, haven't tried desk jobs, and hadn't tried enough medicines and had them fail.
My problem is... I don't have any qualifications for a desk job and typing kills my hands as is, and I'm sorry I didn't work enough, it hurt! I thought that's what this system was for, people who couldn't work.
I didn't realize I had to work 80 hours a week in order to get help when I can't work.
I mean I'm borderline homeless as is, I don't even qualify for more than $30 in snap.
I have neighbors who qualified, younger than me, but there isn't a single thing wrong with them, they brag about how they beat the system and are partying all week.
I just don't get it. I literally broke bones trying to work, I got a concussion working factory jobs when I had a seizure at one, I have worked hard jobs, but I am just not worth anything anymore.
