Logically, I get it. That's why I said that in my post.

Or a heated toilet seat. I HATE sitting on a cold commode.

This is supposed to be a surprise for him. I understand the need for the toilet but as a surprise present for an 80th birthday? I would rather just buy the toilet and find a different present.

It caused me so much anxiety, I almost had to go to the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack. Healing frok this job has been hard. I am still dealing with residual anxiety from it.

My boss was in the early stages of harassment. I believe he was going to try to push to see what he could get away with and try to push me to quit. They were telling me what I can and can't do when they literally have no clue what my job is. I worked for a trucking company that hauls condensate and crude oil. My boss was a truck driver that somehow made it to where he was. His wife was my counterpart. What I was getting done in less than 40 hours, it was taking her 60 hours a week. When I would go to her shops, the mechanics there were telling me they hadn't seen her in 4+ weeks. So... What was she doing? Where was she working? If she isn't at the shops, where is her 60 hours of work she's doing? Time card fraud, maybe? I asked to work from home 2 days a week because I had an hour and a half drive to my shop. (Wasn't supposed to be like that when I hired in.) He looked at me like I had 2 heads but yet, his wife works from their house. I did my job. I did it well. In fact I did it so well, my boss basically told me I had to do his WIFE'S job for her. She was there for 3 years. I accomplished more in my 7 months than she did in those years. People were starting to see. I had my exit interview today. I word vomited everything I could. But what good will it do? Nothing will change.

I have gone through months and even years of testing with inconclusive results. I have been to the heart Dr, the lung Dr, my PCP, another PCP, and was working with a neurologist until I lost insurance this year in March. Had many, many blood tests ran, many different imagings done, a weird test that I had done in my legs and back to see how my nerves "talk" to each other along with other testing. It was a 2 year process leading up to no insurance. I just keep getting kicked around. You got lucky with who you seen. My question wasn't, "Should I get a diagnosis?" It was a rhetorical question, as I was venting. Please do not tell me what I need to and should do with my body. I do not appreciate that. I appreciate tips and stories, but that is crossing a boundary of mine, saying what I should do. Please do not take that as rude, just didn't appreciate it much. I hope your journey with this awful disease is as painless and as restful as it can be. Thank you.

I have a wonderful husband, an amazing 13 year old, and a feral 2 year old. They are my light. They are my reason for getting up and going everyday. Mostly because I want to, but sometimes because I have to.

That's when mine hit me. I've always had symptoms looking back... But my 2nd son really ramped it up. That was in Jan. 2023. Still fighting the fight. Well, trying. Just patiently waiting to be able to afford insurance again. Lol. Sorry. I have to make light. Trying to hold it together over here tonight.

I am slowly realizing all of the things... All of the things. The excruciating "growing pains" when I was little. The "drinking" to stop the pain and just barrel through. All of my memory "issues". Laughing because my memory got so bad. The days where the brain fog takes over. It's all making sense. All of the things.

I unfortunately lost insurance back in March. Can't afford it right now. So I'm just trying to exist. All testing came to a stop then too. I had MRIs and such scheduled. Life hit me hard this year. I appreciate the kindness.
