  62% of Disabled Unemployed

  Jakki I totally agree with you!! While I do suffer from PTSD, that is not my main disability. I am 29 yrs old and have severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. I fought for 3 yrs to get on SSDI, facing several predjudices due to my age. Evidently, I'm "too young" to be on SSDI. Funny, since I'm not too young to get sick. I finally got approved and am receiving help. I hope to one day join the workforce again, and I am your example! I am very intelligent and have no problem finding a good job... when I was healthy. Now that I have all these medical problems, am I going to be stuck in a job that I'm over-qualified for?? Due to my physical limitations, I am unable to work. I hope that one day, this will change. And I hope that when it does, I can really make a differance. We are so close to finding a cure for RA, I just hope it's not too late for me to not be a statistic, like I am now. Thank you very much for standing up for me, and the millions like me. God bless.
