I'm ill and on sick leave

[moosmom]

Kirsten,

I lit a candle for ya, girl. Have they ruled out Fibromyalgia??? Thoughts and prayers coming from CT for a speedy recovery.

I know in CT, a person is entitled to file for long term disability and, if you don't come back to your job within a certain amount of time, the employer is required by law, to put you into a position COMPARABLE to what you did before you went out on leave.

I'm rooting for you, K.

and hugs,

Donna and fur crew

As you know, I'm in the exact same situation... except mine is not for Lyme disease. I'll be off work through December it looks like. Not earning my "keep" is pretty depressing. First and foremost, you need to take care of you. Second you can worry about Luna and Lily. But, you must come fist. Take the time off work to sleep or read or play a video game... find a way to relax. Take some of your beautiful stunning photos.

I'm a horrible advice giver... but please know you are not alone. You can talk to me here or on FB. Anytime! I will reply as soon as I can.

((Hugs)) for you.

Thanks a lot!

Well, a couple of days have passed now, and I'm still at home... I'm still feeling ill, dizzy and tired, but these days, depression is the worst thing to deal with. Spent most of the time reading, or watching tv, really wasn't in the mood for something else. And I'm always feeling cold, so I barely came out from under my blanket.

Luna and Lily are the most wonderful nurses you can imagine! Especially Luna is with me all the time, too bad that I cannot take a pic of her being curled up in my arms, it's so cute!

Have they ruled out Fibromyalgia???

I thought of that, too, although it's almost as difficult to diagnose as Lyme disease is. I've had fibro for 10 years now and the fatigue is sometimes worse than the pain. I power through the day sometimes just on sheer will power. Perhaps mention it to your dr. and see what s/he says. In the meantime, I'll send up a prayer that all will be well for you, Kirsten. Keep the faythe.

Kirsten, have you ever been tested for Lupus? It can be a very
deblilatating(sp)?) illness.

[Marigold2]

I am sending you good wishes. May you be well soon.

Kirsten-
I am sorry to hear that you are not well. Please take care of yourself and feel better, put yourself first before anything else. I'm sure your fur girls will take good care of you.

Kirsten, I'm so sorry to hear about your poor health. I hope that your doctor will be able to diagnose you properly and then treat you so you'll start feeling much better. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Kirsten I am so sorry to hear this. I fully agree with what Pinot's mom has said- no matter where the depression comes from, from Lyme's or other reasons you will need help.
