Hi, I am new to the forum but just had to put in my two cents. (Hope it will be more than two cents if I get approved too!) I live in Michigan and I have heard it is next to impossible to get dissability. We have a friend who lost a lung because of his job, nope, no way! When he finally had a heart attack he got it. Nice huh? He isn`t very old either. Anyway I found out on one of the RSD websites, Michigan had passed some kind of legislation or bill to begin to educate, doctors, have pamphlets and material available to let people who work in the health community, know and learn about this disease. They are trying to pass it in other states too. About time! I feel anyone with this horrible, painful disease should get it no questions asked! Geez, the medications alone make me too goofy to even scoop ice cream! Well, God bless and good luck.
