In June 2024, I signed up for Ticket-to-Work through SSA, and started working part-time.
In Aug 2024, I started working full-time with the goal of gaining access to private health insurance. I signed up for private health insurance this month, October, and my plan is much better than Medicare. My specialist copays cost half the price!!!!
I never thought that having a rare illness, Hereditary Angioedema, would help me land a job. It turns out giving myself IV infusions came in handy. I work in blood collections.
Lupus SLE: I received a second opinion on Aug 16th, 2024, which confirmed a second time that I have Lupus SLE.
Food and Wellness: My rheumatologist also recommended I adhere to an anti-inflammatory food lifestyle. I walk a lot for mental well-being.
On Saturday, I completed a DRS - Career Planning assessment, which is a step towards returning to school.
