For us, that was the only option. Outside of going to a specialist, the MS Society was the place we went to for information and great support.
We were talking about EI and everything else. It's about educating the employer and educating government. It's actually more cost-effective to have people employed than not. It's either going to fall to a provincial program or a pension.
I think we have to look at a broad spectrum. Providing access to employment for people with episodic disabilities is actually going to be cheaper for the system in the long run, whether they're going to end up in a nursing home, or whatever. The point is to keep people mentally healthy, contributing to society and being part of the community.
