Yes, CONFIDENCE! That is what we were robbed of after the TM hit us. Very well said, Lori.
Now that I am back in the USA with its Americans with Disabilities Act, I might head out there again. I just wish all these seizures were controlled by medications!

I was on SSDI for almost 14 years, what a waste of time. I can work and most likely could have worked, I just didn¹t have the confidence after such a traumatic change in life. After a few years, recovery stopped and learning to live with TM took over and nothing has changed, other than attitude.

Maybe I have just been lucky, but I have seen so many disabled people still remain employed even if it is not what they were able to do prior to the disability!
