I'm so sorry to hear about you being sick. I'm so sorry work is giving you a rough time as well. I hope your upcoming surgery will help you.

Do you work with all males? Just curious. I work with a few females but it's mostly males and I don't think they have much compassion some do but not all. Anyway, with my back problems and yes I'm still overweight even though I've dropped 70 lbs but I can only do so much weight loss it seems at the moment with stress and everything else my body is going through but I feel at times they think I'm making up my back pain but I shared my MRI with my boss and the 2 main bosses so they know I can't do any lifting anymore. I've had a back few weeks here lately and unless you through it yourself you don't know how bad it can be.

I've learned this from myself and with my husbands Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS). He gets really bad migraines as well and he has to stay home in the dark and sometimes that isn't enough but it's better than being under floursent lights. Anyway I understand how it feels when people are just plan rude and cruel.

My boss gets migraines as well so at least she knows what my husband is going through in that regard.

Take care and I hope you feel better soon.
