Welcome Richard! I would also recommend that you see a vascular TOS specialist.

About work...this is something that haunts me every single day and very discouraging when I see how many people have had to give up work because of this disease. The lack of money and lack of self esteem have already become a problem for me. Although I have LTD, I am only getting half of my base pay and I miss my bonuses. We wanted to buy a house...well, it's not happening. I have no idea what kind of work we can do. Isolation from not working is getting to me big time too.
