Has anyone applied for Social Security or Disability?

I just want to say that this is an example of how brilliant it is that this website exists.

I research my family history, and I have used the Internet for years to trade information and "meet" long lost distant relatives . . . which, without the Internet would have taken me many more years to get much less in the way of results.  Until I came to THIS website recently, I had not thought of just how useful such a resource would be for people with a particular disease.

I know how valuable it is just to know you're not alone and that someone else can truly empathize with what you're going through.  That in itself is of endless worth.  But the practical side of this is amazing to me.  Being able to ask other people how they managed to finance their medical care, finding out where the "real" MM doctors are, being able to discuss the value (or lack thereof) in an article in a current trade magazine . . . these are all things I never would have imagined an online community could help with, but it makes such sense, when you think about it.

Without this site, all you MMers spread out all over the country . . . and the world! . . . would never know each other existed.

So, DJ, great job, and thanks for having this site.  I know it has made me feel much more at ease regarding my sister's illness.
