Thank you SO much for all that you have shared with me. I feel like I’m on an island all alone where no one seems to understand what I’m feeling and what to recommend. At most I feel like people think I am ‘faking’ this to get out of work or to sleep all day. I can’t tell you how alone you feel when no one seems to understand especially when it comes to the medical field where I live. I kept going to a ‘Dr’ and they kept sending me home saying if I didn’t have any pain then why am I coming to see them? I since have given up on seeing a Dr and only now have a nurse practitioner trying to help my situation. I basically am told to go home and rest and take supplements and vitamins. I struggled for 7-8 months in bed because rest never improved anything. Thank you for all that you’ve sent me, I appreciate anything I can lesrn for myself.

@shawski you know you're sick.That's all that matters.People that have dodged the bullet so far with this thing can't possibly understand.had some of the same reactions from my boss.finally stopped trying to explain myself and how i was feeling.you have to be good to yourself.if ya gotta leave work...if you just can't manage things,you go home.I'm a checker,so handling transactions is critical to my job.I can't get these wrong.I had to leave many times..sometimes right after getting to work.It was too much.A few times I went there and saw one of my other front end managers outside the store.I told him I can't do this right now...I need to go home...Everything worked out fine.Especially when I said to my main supervisor.."DO I LOOK WELL?"lol.She couldn't deny that.Lost 30 lbs in the first 6 months of my covid.Still only 141 steady...and I do eat(not like i used to) LOL.What a world...
