I am the bread winner for my family and really struggling to work. I took a leave through the SFN diagnosis and while trying different pain mgt options. I received a pain pump implant in January, which does help me manage the pain much better while getting off all of the other meds. But I am working from home and trying not to let the stress kill me. I find I can't cope with stress as well as used to, and I can't buckle down and produce work like a I used to. The result is relying more on others to get it done right, and trying to stay calm and healthy while I trust them to do it. I feel trapped though, hard to extricate myself from clients who are relying on me, and very few replacements for what I do. And to extricate my self from the trickiest projects, is basically saying goodbye to my career. This stress makes my pain go crazy and my autonomic nerves flare too. How much is enough? Where will this disease rear it's head next? Can I do it? Should I do it?
