I remember wrestling with this dilema all too well, and finally I went off on short, then long-term disability while I tried to make the decision. One month led to another, and eventually I realized I wasn't going back.

My employer had accommodated me more then I ever expected, or felt was fair to them. They let me work from home, they reduced my responsibility so that I had virtually no deadlines, and they paid my full wages throughout all the ups and downs. I was not pulling my weight, and was feeling terribly guilty about that.

I asked on a forum, "when is enuff, enough?", and there was one piece of advice that someone gave that finally tipped the scales for me me. She said "when the MS becomes a full-time job". It had; I was living to squeeze in as many hours as possible, was stressed to the max, and I was getting sicker by the month.

It was the best move I could have made for myself.

Good luck in your decision,

Cherie
