I think it's different for everyone. I chose to return to work immediately and did not take any time off, but I didn't want any idle time for me to obsess about the cml (that's just me). The first couple of months it was difficult, I was wiped out by the time I got home, but I have a wonderful support system in my husband and he carried dinner the first three months and continues to share in that responsibility today. After about six months I was pretty much back to normal, of course each individual is different and I am fortunate to only have mild side effects.

I was diagnosed at the beginning of October. I took a few weeks off of work and started back at 2 days per week, then upped to three days....6 hours per day. I am totally wiped after my work days and have lots of bone pain and exhaustion. My doctor said he'd sign my disability papers from work if I wanted him to (we have long term disability). I was just wondering how many of you are out of work because of this desease and the pills side effects. > Thank you, > Alicia > > > > > View our family's newest photos at webshots > > > The time goes by so fast.. >
