       A patient blog from WebMD on Social Security Disability (SSDI)
       in connection with MS (September 22, 2022):

       I could add to the positive features of living on SSDI--your
       time is your own. Unless your previous occupation enabled you to
       be in control of your time, you probably worked when someone
       else decreed that you should work and did tasks assigned to you
       by someone else. There was usually a deadline.
       With the income guaranteed by SSDI, you're free of obligations
       of that kind. You're in control of your day.
       This may not sound like such a big deal but I have found that,
       with MS, it is indeed. Not having to dance to anyone else's tune
       leaves you free to take your orders from the MS, which is going
       to issue those orders regardless of your preferences.
       If MS slams you down to the ground enough times, you will have
       learned just how seriously MS needs to be taken.
       I've watched many people go on working, bravely soldiering on
       for years and years, in spite of frequent hospitalizations,
       falls, setbacks, and incidents where they have sadly
       disappointed their employers by failing to come up to the mark.
       And while all of this was happening, they were acting as if the
       MS was just a minor inconvenience.
       It isn't.
