Posted on Sunday, September 18, 2005 - 6:20 pm:   
I am 43 year old female and was diagnosed with MS a year ago. I am in an executive level job with the same company for over 6 years and have a fantastic income. Problem is, I have now begun having eyesight problems, and numbness in my right hand. I can no longer see my computer well, write legibly, and typing is very slow. My ability to navigate thru spreadsheets is harder and harder. My cognitive thinking is negatively affected and I sometimes have problems formulating words, so public speaking has stopped. And my short term memory? Horrible. I'm afraid I will get fired if I can no longer perform in my current capacity. My employer does have a good long term disability plan. When is the right time to try to put in a claim? I don't want to wait too long and get fired because I can no longer perform my job. I need advice. Thank you.
