Hi, my name is ellie and I have just been
told that I have ms. I also have
ostearthritis, sleep apnea, under active
thyroid, a bulging disk in the second
vertabrae in my neck, asmatic and I am a
diabetic. I have been a cook for over 20
yrs. I am 45 yrs. Old and I need to have
a doctor say that with what I have could
my life span be shortened. This is to
receive my pension earlier. I am unable
to work due to pain etc.
Could you tell me if I have a reason or
chance to get my money.
Could this shorten my life. Stress caused
by finacial problems, still raising
children becomes very hard to do.

All of the conditions you report are
treatable with physical therapy,
medications, change in diet/exercise, etc.
I don't believe any of those conditions
will appreciably shorten your life span,
unless you just refuse to take care of
yourself by following doctor's orders.
If you don't have a doctor who already
believes that given your overall
condition, you stand a good chance of
prematurely dying (unless you retire
early) then I think you will have a hard
time finding one who will say so. And if
no doctors believe that, then they will
certainly not put their medical reputation
on the line with a falsified document.
