MS- Job stress=Exacerbation? God bless MLK. UPDATE.

[violetmatthers]

Well, stress is such a huge part of our Ms attacks. In fact emotional stress has played a huge roll in my exacerbations. All of them involved "extended "family stress" so I understand. So sorry about your stress. I too get pain behind one of my eyes at times in my life,but I find if I can literally stay away from those people who cause me such upset I do so much better. I enjoy your video's so much, huge hugs to you and your family

Hugs to you and yours as well.

put long term disability insurance on your radar. if your old employer offered it, continue it through cobra. LTD is very very important and most people don't realize it until it is too late.

Thanks for the tip.

I believe I got LTD when my life insurance policy was written.

My agent (my DAD) made me get the whole package shortly after my daughter was born (2 years before I was diagnosed)

I feel fortunate for that because, according to my dad/agent, insurance companies will not touch someone with MS.

usually ltd is provided by the employer. when you get fired or leave, employee can continue coverage through cobra. ltd is gold. social security doesnt pay squat. please ciheck into it for your kids sake. best wishes

You are right about stress. There is a clear link between stress and flare ups and/or exacerbations.

Congrats on your new job. Yes, we work because we CAN! I like how you talk about your goals!

Thanks for mentioning Rev King.- Great man and a great example.

Keep up the positive attitude! Keep chillaxing!

Best,

Marlo

Thanks for the comment.

I love your videos!

I cannot recall if I have commented on any of them, but they have been really cool.

You are very open and honest.

I believe you also use Rebif and help educate others.

God bless you, Marlo,
