Disability lupus : I've had the last straw of patience with this colleague. She works a part-time job with much better pay rates than most in the department yet: -She arrives systematically late (way after 9am), meaning everyone (but mostly me) have to pick her slack - She uses the phone for personal phonecalls - She steals from the stock for personal use There have been complaints by staff and patients but she seems untouchable, either because of her high profile husband or because she claims discrimination ag

Disability lupus : I fell ill and could work very little. I owed Bank of America a sum of 12, 000 USD. We made a deal I would pay 250 a month for 5 years and they in turn would not destroy me and my credit. I fell more ill (Lupus)and cannot work. I am applying for disability. Is there any other options I can take so I will not have them destroy me or my credit ? Thanks

Disability lupus : I am unable to pay my bills due to a recent relapse with Lupus. This will utterly destroy my credit; which I just repaired after years of work. I will have to file for disability.

Disability lupus : My son and I receive state insurance. We get no child support from the father. In my area my income even with a masters degree is far lower than my living expenses. Childcare eats more than half of my income. Why is it that people assume that just because you are a single mom you are lazy. According to my doctors I should be on disability. If I did that my son would starve, but if I don't I will die sooner rather than later. Moms are judged. Dads who walk out on their families and neve

Disability lupus : I recently came down with a mystery illness. For the past three months I have been to many specialists and have had aton of blood work taken, and no doctor is able to figure out what is wrong with me. They think it might be an autoimmune disease(think something like lupus) but they are hard to pin down so it can take a few years to figure it out. I have to un-enroll for graduate school because I am so tired and in so much pain I usually sleep around 18 hours a day. Since I was in a full time g
