I was just diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in July 2018. My job forced me to choose between being laidoff, fired or go out on disability. So I went out on disability. I was falling all the time for no reason. My handwriting got worse over the years. I was at my job for almost 22 years. I work for a Direct Marketing Mailhouse. My job is affected drastically.
