Hi - it's good of you to share all this, and I hope you feel better doin it
Enjoyed your last blog, too - great pix. Pity how cats' eyes always glow like that when we take pix of em. And certain people, too. My daughter, for one.

PJ...
I think it will be a good move.  I'm glad that you are glad about it.

Definitely sounds like the right move, even though it sucks.
Surely they'd do the part time thing -- if for no other reason than it's cheaper for the company.

Re: Lovelylady, I'm quite aware you have your own pain
so I appreciate your concern over mine. I don't have instant message right now but when I get a chance we will chat! Take care ok?

Hey Jolie....

I get tired a lot too, but I can't even begin to imagine what this thing is doing to you.  I won't say I already know what you're going through, 'cause I don't and I'm not going to sit here and pretend.

I just wish I could do something...anything...but I wouldn't even know what to do.

Do you have instant messaging?

Re: Offy... Yeah, I'm stubborn and tried for as long as possible
but it was either give my notice or be fired. I don't think I could take the fired part lol.

Re: Factor
Yeah I switched over to his since we had the same. I'm not worried about the flu symptoms so much. It's the combinations that are killing me. With the blood clots in the legs and the constant ickiness from that, anemia, MS... I just feel screwed right now lol.

Powder
You have to do what will make your life easier at this point..I always wondered how you held down full time while suffering like you do...Good for you making this decision!!!

posted by Offy on July 11, 2007 at 6:58 AM | link to this | reply

I hope

you have benefits with your husband. I know how expensive those MS drugs are. But quitting is a good thing if you can swing it.

But the flu-like symptoms really do subside eventually! Hang in there! Avoid everything warm and practice meditation/stress relief techniques.
