I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, fibromyalgia, multiple herniated discs in my upper and lower back, sciatica, severe fatigue cause from ongoing inflammation, and recently, my eyes were affected which was extremely painful. I currently work full time as a kennel manager at a vet clinic, a job I love, but it’s killing me. I love the dogs but the constant bending, lifting, twisting, it’s making my condition so bad that I am beginning to miss multiple days of work at a time. I tried a desk job previously but sitting makes things terribly worse.

I’m considering applying for disability but I’m a little overwhelmed and with my body in a flare up at the moment I cannot seem to wrap my head around what to do or where to start.

I have kept a notebook full of mri reports, dr notes, ct scans, x ray reports, and even er visits.

Any advice on what to do next? Or maybe some warm support or prayer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much, my fellow warriors!
