I dont have the links with me cause im on vacation.. but check out some home shoring options. This is where you work like a customer service/support job over the phone like you would if you worked at a call center but you do it in your jammies sitting at home. I know that all Jet Bue reservations agents take the calls from thier home and so do the people that work for AARP customer support.. Maybe you could do a google search for home shoring, or home based tech support. Many companies are doing it to keep jobs here, instead of sending the call centers to india..As far as equipment all you need is highspeed internet and a dedicated phone line..hope this helps..i read about it in a mag. article

I have worked at home for years now doing medical transcription for ophthalmologists. Only part- time, but you can work 40 hours weekly or just a few hours, you get to pick. I really like working only part-time.
All you need for start-up is a computer, transcriber, phone book so you can look up all the doctors' addresses to mail letters, a few other things like a stapler, desk, typewriter, things like that. And a typewriter can be bought on EBay for little money these days. In fact, I buy my ink cartridges for printer and fax machine on Ebay, also.
You are your own boss, work in a nightgown, shorts or t-shirt, work when you want, and the extra perks of being in touch with the offices you work with aren't too bad. I get a discount when buying new glasses and get free eye exams for family and myself.
I know it doesn't sound like too much, but it all helps with the horrendous gas prices we have to pay not to mention medications.
Good luck in your search for what is best for you.

I used to work for a company doing customer service from my house. I worked for about 3-4 different companies who contracted through them. I had high speed internet, a corded phone and a headset.
I had to quit because my kids couldn't stay quiet enough. It was kinda fun and easy. Not much money but it was a little. I even got a $100 bonus once!
pm me if you want the website address

I second the post on medical transcription or medical coding. Every lyme patient is versed in medical terminology in our struggle to know what has attacked us and to learn more as we cope with the problems. Anything that uses a home computer and flexible time commitment is ideal. Good luck and stay strong!!!

There was a poster in this thread that was promoting something they shouldn't have been...a troll. They were reported to the moderators and their posts taken out....so what is left is some of us yelling at the person
