I thought Id bring up this question since ENS is so debillitating to every aspect of our lives making work seem almost impossible.
I know some people with ENS are still able to work at some level, but some of us on the other hand have the worst and extreme version of ENS which makes it impossible to work.
Even though Ive been recovering pretty well on the Butrans pain patches, I still have so many restrictions when it comes to having a job.
For instance, since i live on the Butrans patches and the fact I have ENS, I cant really get any labor intensive jobs involving extended use of my body. For one, my body will never have the same amount of energy it used to because of the ENS, and on top of that, I cant do anything that gets me sweaty. If I get sweaty at all, it ruins the pain patches which allow me to live. So Ive got a catch 22 in that regard.
Because of those limitations, Ive been thinking about desk jobs or call center jobs, but as we all know, those along with all jobs are in short supply.
Ive been trying to getting disability for a few years now, in fact, Ive got a lawyer doing my case. My lawyer said I should be approved, but its just a time issue, meaning with how backed up courts are, it would take me years to get it.
As far as anything else, the only ways Ive been able to get a drop of money is doing little surveys online and getting a few dollars here and there, but most of the time it comes in the form of gift cards. If anyone wants to know which sites I use for this, let me know.
Im just curious, how is everyone else faring in this regard.
