[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1193736, member: 4886"] My wife's uncle, whom I liked, asked me a few years ago why I was still working. Why don't you go out on disability. I do have a disease that has different levels of intensity. At an extreme it is deadly, during very bad times it can lead to hospitalization etc and would require to go on disability. However, the level I was at, I could still perform my job. So when he asked, I told him, I'm still capable of working. His answer was, yeah, but you could collect disability. For me, that wasn't an option. I was also afraid a bit to "admit" that the disease was getting the better of me. At this time now, the disease is hardly noticeable to myself, and not noticeable at all to others. I'll admit, I lost a bit of respect for him that day. [/QUOTE]
