Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hello, I am sure that this has probably come up before, but I am relatively new to this group. I was diagnosed with CMT type 1B in March. Since that time, I have entered physical therapy, recieved AFOs and have begun pain management. Also, shortly after the diagnosis, my employer felt it would be best for me to step down from my job. Two days ago was my last full day on the job and have now begun a 60 day temp period between my job and who knows what. The added medical bills have now depleated our savings and we are getting nervous about finding a job with my newly discovered disability. (not that I couldn't do just about any job, just that it may be harder to find something new) I have sought out help from the MDA, and the Michigan (where we live) Rehabilitation services...however, I am not getting any clear answers as to financial help for me and my family's needs until I can find something else to do. If anyone knows of some kind of fund, agency, employment group that works with people with our disability...PLEASE let me know. Thank you.
