I just spend four months off work, getting myself in remission and healthy. I took medical leave and unemployment time to do this. I was able to taper off the prednisone, and stay stable. I continued to get healthy and drop medicines one by one until I was completely off of prescription drugs. With the help of essential oils, I got rid of that toxic feeling from being on so many harsh drugs. I was feeling great. Had normal stools. I was eating fresh vegetables and home cooked beans, with no pain, I might add! I felt like a miracle. Then, I knew I needed to start working so I wouldn't run out of money.
Now, I'm sick. Back to the same old running to the barroom like crazy. Pain is through the roof. Today marks my 90 days at the company. After a short test next week, they will offer me a contract. I don't think I can take it. I slowly added hours to my week during this training period to ease myself back into the routine of working, but my body just can't take full time job. I don't even think I can handle part time work. I feel terrible. I feel like I've let everyone down- my trainer, the company, my parents, those who helped me get my Master's degree, etc.
I don't know what to do. Where do I go from here. My doctor doesn't believe in Disability, and she says I especially won't get it because I'm a "healthy" weight and am currently "working." She doesn't care that 11+ hours of sleep are needed when I get like this. The fact that I have no life outside of work and chores doesn't seem to matter. I don't even know how to talk to my boss about this, as we've only met once because she is in a different city.
