Two child fist size portions of my brain are already dead. Before being diagnosed with SPMS, I was the founding principal of a design firm. Due to the nose dive in the economy in 2007, combined with taking care of my employee's when I waa forced to close my office in 2009, I have nothing. Forced to sell my house to pay debt, the only income I have is my SSDI. I currently have 89 cents and some food to last me another two days. My last year of professional practice I paid over $30,000 in taxes - and worked for over 25 years with MS. So... I don't deserve to receive my SSDI?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-34344305414119541122013-10-01T15:10:06.872-04:002013-10-01T15:10:06.872-04:00Amen, fellow American.
