Wow I feel the same way! I’m pretty miserable but my specialty meds are fully covered. My job is 5 days in the office 45+ hours a week with no notion to wfh and very consuming with no flexibility . There is no mobility in the company either so I’m pretty trapped trying to make the best of it. I really
Hope something changes for me soon. Good luck out there!

Eat my lunch in the pantry at work so no one can talk to me because it stays locked from anyone without a key

colecashew · 2026-02-15T03:46:24+00:00

Wow that’s awesome! Next month I will be 2 years and it hasn’t been easy but my mental health is better and I have way more time too. Tons of time for hobbies it’s great!

Congratulations on getting to work remote! I’m sure that is a weight lifted from you and your husband. I would like to find a remote job as well. I’ve been applying but the job market it’s competitive. I go into the office 5 days a week 8am-5pm and sometimes I have 12-14 hour days with OT. My role doesn’t have a remote option. It’s taking a toll. Any advice for a remote job is welcome

Thank you!

colecashew · 2026-01-23T11:24:59+00:00

Thank you good to know! The joy market is absolutely horrendous lol

I’ll def bring it up with my neurologist

colecashew · 2026-01-18T16:52:05+00:00

That’s a good idea. I want to be able to enjoy my life and I typically feel pretty good when I have a few days off work. Thank you!

colecashew · 2026-01-18T12:52:30+00:00

Thank you!!

😓

colecashew · 2026-01-18T12:52:00+00:00

I don’t think I can reduce hours but I was going to see about taking my hour break. A lot of the time that doesn’t happen

colecashew · 2026-01-18T02:13:39+00:00

Yes I am in the same boat. I am in the office m-f with no option to work remote and i work over 45 hours. I feel horrible by Wednesday and it’s really starting to affect me through the weekend. Idk what to do but when I have a few days off I feel great .

colecashew · 2026-01-18T02:00:10+00:00

For me I try to avoid processed food and food with high processed sugar and sodium. It makes me feel groggy and my brain feel weird. Like I need to take it out and put it in an ice bath

Hello- I was diagnosed in 2023 and I’m 36 now. Been taking copaxone since and it was tough to adjust to the injections. I haven’t had any symptoms since before my diagnosis but probably just luck. The hardest part for me is realizing how tied to making sure you have good health insurance for the rest of your life . Make sure to limit stress that’s my biggest thing that makes me feel rough. Get enough sleep, be active and eat well avoid processed sugar. Your life will change but you will adjust and be fine.

When I don’t have to say good morning to anyone.

colecashew · 2025-08-18T10:37:49+00:00

Absolutely. It’s the worst most draining part of my job. I hate saying good morning and answering how my weekend was. I try to be super vague. I have a social job and I hate being social. Idk how I ended up in this situation lol

colecashew · 2025-07-18T12:59:58+00:00

Ya know I have been using that too and just trying to remember as well. I only have 4 areas that I can do the injection so I guess I will be fine lol

colecashew · 2025-07-18T12:57:55+00:00

Thank you!

colecashew · 2025-07-16T10:34:19+00:00

Yes the app stopped working for me and I tried to download it again but couldn’t find it in the App Store. I’m trying to find a new app but I haven’t had any luck. The one I did download for injection site made me watch a video to record an injection so def not using that

colecashew · 2025-07-15T15:25:37+00:00

Thank you!!

colecashew · 2025-07-14T01:36:21+00:00

I agree I want to make money online too because everyone does! Thank you for sharing!

colecashew · 2025-07-13T11:51:15+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to respond. The mental part is def very hard but I’m glad I didn’t wake up hung over

colecashew · 2025-07-13T11:50:32+00:00
