Raining_again Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Isnt there a learn as you work program? Like an apprenticeship sort of thing? Absolutely not, you have to study to be a doctor, then go onto specialist training, and even then there are very few jobs, and a lot of highly trained specialists already in the field. Someone like me with a big medical history wouldn't even be considered. Sometimes I'm lucky to get a minimum wage job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you do? Surely they cant discriminate for a health problem, unless it hinders your performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it probably does... As you could all imagine, having arthritis means you can't do manual labour type jobs at all. And I suffer from fatigue A LOT. That's a really big part of arthritis that people don't commonly know about. Hell, I didn't til I spoke to my rhemy recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch, if you can't work shouldn't you get some sort of benefit to help you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I haven't tried, I've been suggested to tho. If I ever do i'll report my findings Isn't it proven to help with the lieks of MS and that sort of disease? Ouch, if you can't work shouldn't you get some sort of benefit to help you? I can (and do) work, just limited to what I can do. It kinda makes me sad that I do sometimes struggle working full time, when there are a lot of people claiming undeserved benefits. But doesn't mean I'd lower myself to their standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
