I hurt my hand at work and 6 weeks later, diagnoses of CRPS. I was wonderfully picked up by WCB insurance and was even sent to school. That didn't go as planned, even though I did well at school, Working was a totally different thing. I have been officially "retired" for just over a year. I am 40 by the way...
I have found a great organization that helped me deal wit my new life. Threads of Life, is a suppot system for those dealing with workplace injury, desease and death. They have saved my life so many times.
