I am new to this forum, though I have had Idiopathic PN for about 6 years. I read the earlier post regarding employment, but my question differs slightly and I did not want to confound the earlier thread. I have been working for many years in a specialized field, in which my college education focused on. In the past year my symptoms got markedly worse and my neuro strongly advised perm disability. But I continued on for 10 months. After 3 hospitalizations, my employer is pushing me out the door (and some of their reasoning is valid).

I find myself at a crossroad, as I cannot decide whether I should start at a whole new profession, or accept my increasingly disabling symptoms and go on disability.

I would be very open to hearing from others who were once in my situation, and learn how you decided what to do. Thank you
