If you have any changes in the palm of your hand like a lump, possibly
below your ring and pinkie or if you have a less than completely flat
finger impression when you press your hand flat on a table or similar flat
surface CHECK THESE SITES FOR INFORMATION.If you do not have disabiliy
coverage you could be refused if you are diagnosed before it is in effect,
this is important for those changing place of employment as cobra is
available and you need to consider checking your needs and options.
