    Wish this video existed 7 yrs ago when I had to resign my job from the unknown/un-named illness (now known as MCAS).

    Thanks. Very informative. I have long covid with chronic fatigue. I have had adrenal gland deficiency for years. I’m on work short term disability now and it’s looking like I need to go on work long term. It goes through a third party. The stress added… like you said every case is different..

    The most humiliating experience of my life. Basically the system doesn't like losing a contributor to their funding!!!!

    I got approved for LTD with a two-day CPET, but I keep getting denied for SSDI. I’m in the appeal process. It’s ridiculous and demoralizing.
