Hi Mary,

Your post caught my eye...I am a SAHM, with one child who I homeschool, and I also have severe fibro and Chronic Fatigue....so far we are making it on my husband’s income (he owns his own business), but I have filed for disability...it’s been in the works since December.  I could not hold down a full time job if I tried, and we now have a hefty food bill as Chelsea has been diagnosed with hypoglycemia on top of the CAH and has to eat organic, sugar free, white flour free foods. She also can’t have MSG or nitrates and we have to be very careful with artificial sweeteners. Our food bill has jumped about $100 per month, OUCH.  I am trying to make as much stuff at home as I can.

Have you considered fighting for disability? Especially if you get an MS diagnosis, I would go for it.
