What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX but my daughter lives in OK
Hello all, my eldest, Sissy who is 26 was recently diagnosed with Lupus. She has two different forms of Lupus, one is SLE and the other is Discoid . The disease has really taken a toll on her since she was diagnosed a couple of months ago. She weighs probably now only about 90-85 pounds and has a terrible rash on her face and head. Plus she has hair loss. She has extreme muscle aches to the point that sometimes she cannot get out of bed. What are the steps that can be taken in order for her to get disability. The disease has progressed very quickly and she literally looks ten years older than she did at XMAS time.
This is a person that was once extremely athletic, ran track, swam, was on drill team, and was a high school cheerleader. She has also always been an extremely hard worker, but now can barely function. I am thinking seriously about having her come home--she is rapidly becoming too weak to take care of herself. Any suggestions of where to start since it is becoming very evident that she is not capable of working and her health is not good at all. She is under a Dr's care, but her health is not improving.
Many Thanks,
Penelope
