we're all pullin' for you to get through this.

some of these pencil-pushers don't seem to GET that even though the MS remits, and we have times where we're almost back to *normal* for a while, if we TRY to do what we did before, working, driving, stressing, and all, we'll BRING on ANOTHER relapse, worse than before !!

now, some can keep on working, and kudos to them for it, but as we get older, we have less and less resources to FALL BACK on, and draw from, to achieve even a SHADOW of our former go-get-'em working selves.

if they *understood* that working, and commuting, and STRESS can sometimes precipitate flares, I suspect they wouldn't be so quick to keep us hanging... and hanging, and hanging...


I agree with you 100%, Kay. If those "decision makers" had to be one of the ones who's waiting and wondering how next months bills are going to be paid maybe then they'd get on the ball.
