I started on California State Disability as soon as the waiting period ended. Then applied for and got Social Security Disability and my Private Disability paying. I need it for the same reasons you describe. Plus, at 61, just staying alive and fighting the CML takes all my energy. It a financial struggle as I wish I had more money to spend. There is also the "Catch 22", if you go back to work you have to not just earn a few extra bucks, you need to cover the value of your Disability checks since they will get cut off as soon as you work again.

I was wondering how many of you are on some sort of disability for the CML.  I was diagnosed at the beginning of October.  I took a few weeks off of work and started back at 2 days per week, then upped to three days....6 hours per day.  I am totally wiped after my work days and have lots of bone pain and exhaustion.  My doctor said he'd sign my disability papers from work if I wanted him to (we have long term disability).  I was just wondering how many of you are out of work because of this desease and the pills side effects. 
Thank you,
Alicia
