How do you know they are able to work by just seeing them on their porch? I’m semi-disabled. No one would be able to tell unless I told them. I work, but I was unable to for 3 years until I got my medication sorted and a job that was liberal about me taking sick days. Was I a bum for three years? Should I have worked while screaming in agonizing pain?
You weren’t unable to work, you were just unable to do work that you felt was good enough for you. You could’ve taken a call centre job and worked from home, you could’ve attempted something like drop shipping which has nearly no initial costs, you could’ve done a million things right there from your bedroom and you did nothing and called yourself “semi-disabled”. You’re either disabled, or you’re not. So yeah, you were a bum for three years.
I literally screamed in pain every 20 minutes. I have trigeminal neuralgia, the suicide disease. It’s called that because most people kill themselves rather than handle it. I’m sure a call center job would have worked really well if I screamed at the customer. Thankfully, that has been solved and I’m only in severe pain all the time now instead of severe to agonizing every 20 minutes. You have no idea what I go through. You are being fucking offensive.
Or the normal name, fothergill’s disease. Very painful indeed, ay but maybe starting out with that would’ve been better than claiming semi-disabled, because that’s a bullshit term. You have Fothergill disease, you’re disabled.
You misunderstand, I simply don’t care what you go through, and I don’t care about offending you in the slightest. We’re on the internet, we’re nothing to eachother and will likely never interact again after this. Sure, it sucks for you, but it has exactly 0 impact on my life.
No one calls it Fothergill’s disease. Not a single medical professional has ever said that to me. That’s not a “normal name” that I have heard anyone use in any context outside people like you who find it on internet searches.
And no, when I said semi-disabled, I meant it. I am able to work and receive disability to make up for the lost time when I can’t.
Yeah, it might be a language thing because I’m guessing English isn’t your first. But feel free to find evidence that “Fothergill’s Disease” is the common name in the U.S. where I live. I’d like to see it.

In your anecdotal experience people don’t call it that, congrats buddy.
Semi-disabled is bullshit. You’re disabled and partially rejected for work.
My “anecdotal experience” with dozens of medical professionals.
And you’re actually claiming semi-disabled is not real but semi-employed is?
Good job, you figured out what anecdotal means.
Might be a language thing, I wouldn’t call it semi-employed at all. There is or there is not.
