MDJunction to me

grandmasylvia"MDJ has been "a soft place to fall" for me as Dr Phil says. I have this very painful rare disease Dercum's Disease and take comfort in finding others here who share their knowledge and compassion. Many
members have helped me just by understanding my anguish and validating
my pain. We are working together to encourage research toward a cure.

Lynda Have you tried a Security Job. Some places pay as much as $18.00 a hour. I know it is not the kind of job you may think of working but some places it isn't a bad job. Check in your area if there are any positions. Good Luck with your search and you hang in there.

I know and I am almost ready to just give up and take one of them, just to have a job. I guess that's how they want it; people willing to work hard for nothing. Goodbye middle class.

Have you gone to social services to see what assistance they can offer you until you are employed? I have worked many jobs I felt were beneath me to pay my bills. I have a degree in Finance and am interviewing for a customer service job at a growing company. Sometimes you just have to get your foot in the door. Take the help you can get while we have this president. He is giving things away left and right. They are even giving out pell grants to go to school free of charge.
My experience is no substitute for sound medical advice.
