: Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on ways to work from home. I have been on SSDI about 5 years and am really struggling financially. I worked as a nurse for 24 years but needed to give that up. Since I am MRSA positive there is not really anything I can do in health care. I done some part time work at a corner store but after getting vestibular damage from IV Gent. I have not been able to do that.SO now I'm trying to figure out what I can do from home.

Hi Lib, good on you for trying with work. Im stuck in a rut like that too right now but not as sick as you. Its hard finding a good employer to understand if you need time off. They just dont get CF. How about a home business ? a internet based business that you could work on if you are in hospital ? or a CF app for a Iphone to remember meds etc ?? LOL .... Im sure with your experience you could do something online as a health care worker or some sort of office work that organises health care for home care related stuff ? Im finishing off a social work degree but looking for part time work as well. My Doctor said as long as I dont work in respiratory then I can pretty much do what I want. I think there are good guidelines for work on the CFF website under living with CF and employment. Good luck. Sonia
