Well I'm still hanging in there, to be fair, by the tenuous of threads! I've had my stim amped up to counteract the pain, still very bad nights and long days. Charging my battery both morning and night now, hope to go higher ampage again next month as not noticing any bad side effects and the pain I think is lessened.

So great to hear from you Pam.
Doesn't matter how tenuous those threads are, you are still working, still pushing, still out in the work world and best of all, better pain control.

I miss you around the forum so thanks for taking the time to let us know how you are. You made my day!

Pam, you definitely have to be proud of yourself whether this is for a short time or longer; the fact is you had the courage to go out there and give it your best.
You sure are an inspiration.

Having blood tests, no energy at all, disinterested in everything and everything is an effort, even to lift an arm. Mind is restless, struggle to concentrate.

Still working, it's an effort, but I'm hanging on.

Thinking of you Pam. You've done so much in a short period of time too so combine that with pain and any wonder you're getting exhausted. Take care of yourself.

Pam,
Hopefully, if and when working is causing you too much pain and energy to allow some enjoyment;...... with a sense of accomplishment, you will "pat" yourself on the back and say "I did it;..but now it's time to reward myself with a break from working; at least for now".

Take care dear friend

Can you believe it, I have been there 12 months now. It was a difficult start with some challenging people, but, we have overcome the "newness" of my role somewhere along the way and work together when we need to.

I still maintain my 3 days a week, but they are not fixed. I have managed to get a job where I can go to work when I can go to work if that makes sense. I can work from home as well and so I juggle my attending the office and the duties I perform around my pain levels. Yes there are days when the pain is bad and I still have to go in but on balance I'm pretty chuffed with my effort.

I cannot believe it has been a year already, I remember the start of your Journey to Work so clearly and the issues you had - the days you were down.

Huge Congratulations are in order - I hope you get a big bunch of flowers and a chocolate cake.

Dave.

PamelaJune, that is great news - well done !

Dear Pam,
It is AMAZING it has been a year.
Congratulations.....you are an inspiration to me and I am sure to so many others here.
I am glad it has worked out for you....you worked so hard to stick with it and deserve the success.

All the best in 2016.
Big hug,
Diandra

p.s. Hope you are better from the parking lot "bump"
