We are a family of four living with chronic illness and disabilities. During a typical day any one of us must be a caretaker for another. My husband is a disabled veteran and as we work with VA on increasing his disability we must help him live with the changes he is going though and assist him as much as possible as he can no longer work.
I have several chronic diagnosis that includes kidney disease, non alcoholic liver damage, chronic anemia, severe anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, chronic hives and fibromyalgia. One of my sons has fibromyalgia while the other has psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Every one of live with pain on a daily basis.
None of us are capable of being employed right now. I am in the midst of filing for SSDI although in 3 years I will be able to get social security.
We are a family working together, learning together and taking care of each other. I hope you will join us on our journey.
Thank you!
