In Reply to: Compensation - am I wrong to try? posted by Nimlock on September 11, 1998 at 08:30:26:
I don't think you are "wrong" in the slightest to try for any help you may be able to get. We cluster sufferers get so little help as it is. And please don't wait, if this is what you want to try. I made the mistake of waiting after I lost my last job to the demon. I kept thinking it would get better and I wouldn't have to resort to financial aid. During the waiting (and hoping) things only got worse, and I now have fibromyalgia to add to my dilema. It's been two years since I last worked, and now I am no longer eligible to apply for disability. My health has deteriorated, no one wants to hire me, and I'm left with no income. Don't wait. Try.
