i know this isn't an easy process.
you havn't been dx'd very long at all.

i got dx'd at 53. i was working in nursing in the NICU with babies.
i finally got to resign my job because of the physical demands. i still remember how shocked i was. how afraid. i really grieved for my self. nursing was my life; 35 yrs.

but i got help with therapy in dealing with all my feelings.
my good friends get it. but you're right. most people just can't and i don't blame them. your dh sounds like a great guy.

be honest with your dr. that way he can help you to better control and/or work with how you are now.

just try and take 1 day at a time. it took me a long time to know what my limits were. for a while i could go past them but not anymore. if i overdo i pay the price in pain and fatigue.

learning to judge what you can do and when you need to back off and rest takes some practice.

i'm glad you're on the board.
hope to hear more of your posts.
