hello. i would love to share information on benefits for the disabled in other states. where i live you cannot get decent housing on a sliding scale. i've been on the waiting list since 1996; and if you saw the housing you must take if and when it comes up..........well......hmmmmm. only section 8 housing is offered to the disabled here. i am 49 but no one believes it? i have 3 grown sons. away. and widowed. i've had fatique and weakness since 1996; but work hard at living normally as possible! this year i had my lumbar re-built. my first traumatic surgery. bone degeneration. recovering well and researced thoroughly on how to avoid as much degeneration as possible. still...........living as normally as possible. i enjoy life and fun and have a goal to enjoy it even more. hoping to meet some sweet people across the us. mozarta.

I am currently in transition as I try to go onto SSDI. I have worked with people with disabilities in some capacity for over 25 years. I am at a point where I must look at the wear and tear that is occurring with my own body, thus I am now looking at going on disability. I am hoping that the new free time will allow me more time with my family and friends, something that has been at a very low level while trying to work. I am active in the local bicycling community as a United States Cycling Federation official. I am still able to ride my bike, though not as far as I would like, which keeps me active without wear and tear on my joints. I have 2 wonderful children, and we are expecting my second grandchild any day now.

I have been having a really hard time coping the past month or so. I would love to go somewhere in the South Pacific. I have had no vacation since 6-'92 when my daughter was shot through the face by her fiance'. She was never suppose to wake up but she surprised everyone. We have no family support up here in Alaska. I got my asso. of arts about a month before she was shot. Tell me about your selves--PLEASE.

I'm a 50 year old female. My 20 year old son lives with me. This arthritis has affected my life. I don't want to go anywhere or do anything. My doctor says that if it's not RA, I have excessive wear and tear on my body. I am currently being treated for OA...but the medication does not help. My fingers are starting to disfigure. To all who post me I will return an answer. It gets lonely being in the house all the time, doesn't it?

I am a person who always looks for the positive in everything and this has been my salvation since being diagnosed with Scleroderma. It is a very lonely disease as it affects so few of us, our disabilities are mostly invisible. Pain, internal problems, and chronic fatigue are not visible to others unless they know you, this can be a blessing but can also cause large problems. I have my own web site if anyone would like to learn more. http://communities.msn.com/SclerodermaYou
