FMLA

---

Well, I ended up taking FMLA after talking to 3 people in my medical team. (I call it a team now). Ive been in so much pain it is hard to walk up right. My shoulders are tingling and feel numb and a horrible sensation that is really uncomfortable. I have to wear loose loose clothing so it doesn't bother me as much.

My concentration has been terrible. Esp if I have to take a muscle relaxer, etc. Im so tired.

Getting things put together and in order before I leave work today.

For 15 years of my working life I have been negating to take myself to specialists until its so bad I cant function. I have been worried about others situations if I am gone from work or any situation where I have a large roll to play.

My therapist and I have been talking alot and she convinced me I need to take this next month and make sure I get to all my doctor visits and be gentle on my body. Im hoping to try some new medication. I will have time to test it out without side effects causing me to miss work, etc.

I always tell people you can't take care of anyone unless you take care of yourself first. That is what I am doing now.
