Rob,
I've wondered how you could possibly be driving that distance and working
full time!
I know that when I overdo, my residuals are worse and in my mind, your
scedule would
be WAY TOO MUCH for me!! Of course, I'm older than you, but my symptoms have
progressed as the years have passed. I'll be celebrating 12 years this month
and I
know I couldn't do what you do.
If I were you, I'd ask about the possibility of SS Disability . In my
opinion, there's no
sense in working until what health you have is gone!!
Just my 2¢,
janh

I am obviously on a letter writing campaignâ¦this is due to
what I perceive as a worsening of my conditionâ¦ok here is my questionâ¦.I
have been working full time for the past 10 years after contacting TM
(obviously this was after the hospital and rehab)â¦I drive more than 2 hours a
day (welcome to New York City) and for the first time I am really wondering how
much longer I will be able to keep this upâ¦it just keeps getting harder. On
the one hand if I stop working I will have all the time in the world to think
of my condition (bad!), on the other hand work just keeps getting harder and
harder both physically and mentally(bad too!). Please don't tell me to just cut
down..that cannot workâ¦..therefore what I have done mentally is say to myself
that if I can just work 2 more years then I can retireâ¦only problem is that 2
years seems like a very very long time!
I am going for a spinal MRI next week and Dr Kerr hooked me up with
an excellent Dr. in New Jersey whom I will be seeing in a couple of weeksâ¦so
I am trying to be proactiveâ¦just not sure how much longer my "positive
attitude" will be enough to get me by!
Sorry about this I truly hate complaining when I know so many of you
are so much worse than I am!
Thanks for everything!
Rob in New Jersey
