I have RA, osteoatrhritis and fibro, I am a merchandiser working three days a week, 3-5 hours at a time...and I can hardly handle it anymore. This was the only job I could find. Now what do I do? Any job suggestions?

I lost my job to RA 7 months ago. It was too physical for me to do anymore(CNA). Now I'm looking at a career change at the age of 44. I've only known physical work, I have no idea what career path to take now. I can't afford to go back to school, I am terrible at office work. I have 4 children and am behind on my mortgage. My husband is working him self to death trying to keep us afloat. Any ideas out there? I've applied to local dept. stores but you have to be able to lift at least 40 lbs and be on your feet for 100% of your shift. Any ideas would be a greatly appreciated. We're sinkin fast!
