Been in a medical remission for 2 years, shook pred for a month, back on but weaning again. Till pred is gone, docs won't consider mtx reduction...I'ma working on it! Not sure what it means to anyone's life...it has become my life now. Life is pretty normal with AI down in terms of things I can do, attempt, or not. Risk of infection should and will be a constant concern as the WGs never goes away at this point in research/protocols. Yes, do file for disability if you can get it...your current work will be affected by at least 6 mos after dx and drug protocols. Some get back faster, some never do. I'm not sure any of us or our docs understand the disease - some are well educated, many of us are coping well from what we learn from our docs and on here and other support systems. Best advice I offer is to keep it slow and easy, do the best you can, get the best you can, and keep at it...best to you.
