Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Bob, I am so sorry about all your stress and progression. First of all, are you seeing a doctor to help you manage your symptoms? Or have you gone to an MDA clinic (they also help CMT persons - website http://www.mdausa.org there is a search box to find a clinic close to you; then call and get an appointment. If you feel you need medical attention sooner, go to your nearest hospital ER. You didn't mention if you wore AFOs or were receiving other help, so I am not quite sure what to suggest at this point. Then, find out if the State of Indiana has a disability program. Get an application and file. Find out if you have any long term disability insurance with your employer, if so, file for it. If not, try filing for unemployment or Medicaid. Then, discuss with your doctor the need to file for SSDI benefits, OR possibly be retrained in some other work once this current stress settles - and it will! ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
