hi, it is hard. not knowing what your body is going or not going to do . my daughter in law ( someday lol) works at walmart , she has ms too. and there is i thing that they did for her, i can not rem the name, but if she gets sick she can go home, and they do not say a thing, and she gets part of her pay for that day. something like 7.00 an hr. now she get all her pay for the time she is there, but for the tie she had to go , is 1/2..and they will not take her job from her, maybe you have something like this, at work and do not know about it. she did not know and one of the other workers told her..maybe some thing to look into , and just do you know ..for 7yrs i had braces on my legs, and uses a walker, not now ..there are days that i need the cane. but i just wanted you to know, that what you have, will never go away, but there are times, for some of us ...it

does get better..i wish you peace>>debbi brantSubject: guilt...To: MSersLife , multiple-sclerosis Date: Thursday, October 21, 2010, 1:32 PM

I'm sorry, I just need to vent........

I was supposed to work afternoons today (2pm-10pm) and I just called in sick...My boss answered the phone and she is amazing, knows my health problems right now, it isn't a secret or anything. But everyone also knows I do NOT like to miss work and I have done nothing BUT call in sick lately and it is killing me Even when I THINK about going to work I get all anxious and worked up and I don't know why.......I've done nothing around the house but sleep, lie around and this is not me. I don't like this person I am becoming and I don't know what to do about it. I just want to stay in a hole and never leave

Is this all part of the process?????

Please send me some words of encouragement..am I ever going to feel better or go into remission so I can function in daily life???

My job is so physically demanding (I am a personal support worker in a nursing home) so I am on my feet, walking, doing stuff for 8 hrs and even when I was healthy I would come home exhausted, sore feet, sore back, sore legs lol......I don't know that I can do it forever now....

My boss said that I could drop back to casual and not have any scheduled shifts if I need to (but I have fought for over 2 yrs to get a part time position there, which means I would have to give that up and wait for another one to come along......) but it IS an option.........I don't know. I guess I will have to talk to Wayne about it when he comes home from hunting *sigh* I feel useless

Thanks for letting me vent, you guys mean so much to me.........

Hi Debbi,

thanks for your post....i think that is wonderful about your daughter in laws job, i had NO idea walmart would be so accomodating. Hmmm..something to think about. and I know I will have things that I need to look into now that life is different for me....I appreciate your words of comfort....I have some decisions to make regarding work, that I suppose I don't WANT to make, but know I have to sooner or later...I am very lucky to have a wonderful boss, who is very understanding...........
