Hanging on to my job by the skin of my teeth

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

My name is Dawn; I am 39 years old and was diagnosed with

fibromyalgia earlier this year.(I spent a month and a half not being

able to wake up for more than a half an hour) I also had a blood

test for lupus and that came back positive.....but for some reason

they aren't worrying very much about that yet. I work fulltime

outside of the home.....and I don't know how to continue.....everyday

is a struggle. I walk around in a fog 85% of the time and many of

the people I am forced to work with make life that much more

impossible. I told them that I couldn't do overtime and they wanted

to know for how long??? They don't understand that this is something

that isn't going to go away.

I have a plan to just quit; but then how do I afford the

medication? BTW I am on prozac and vioxx and a couple others that I

had tried....and decided not to take. I give 100% to my

workday...and when the weekend comes I sleep all the way through. I

used to be interested in soooo many things. This is no kind of

life. If anyone can give me any suggestions I would be forever

grateful.

Hanging on to my job by skin of me teeth,

Dawn
