I am a disabled mother of 4 trying to get through until I can finally get disability to approve my case. I have a nonspecific neurological disorder that I've been trying to get diagnosed since I was 16. I am able to work but can only do up to 4 hours a day and am lucky to have a business owner I work with who is understanding when I have to call out of work at least twice a month.

The pictures are of me at my worst when I can't walk, talk, or move at all, and happened during a whole month of episodes, which seems to be more of a flare-up. Medication is expensive, and people tend to call EMS when they see me, even though there is nothing the ER can do. The disability makes it hard for me to go out without company.
