Hi there I had to stop working I am on disability it was hard to work I was sick often and my hands made paperwork very hard even using the computer trying to keep a steady pace was difficult. It has not been an easy adjustment but my doctor felt it was best my condition continues to get worse. So yes if you need help get it.
