    most people with even a mild form of this disease cannot hold down a job because of its unpredictability & other issues that come with it.

    My cousin and her daughter both have this horrible disease. It almost killed both of them. Please see this as the horrible and debilitating illness that it is and recognize it as a disability.

    I am a victim of this disease and feel the SSA needs to recognize it as a disability. I never know from one day to the next how my health will be. Holding down a job at this point would be something I could not due because of this illness. Please take time to research this and make part of your disabilities list.
