Well fellow Weggie's I need some assistance in an ongoing debate between my spouse and myself, over the years since my diagnosis we have tried to meet each other in the middle and hear each others point of view and make the decision together....up to now. My spouse feels that I need to stop working all together to focus on enjoying life, feeling good and having the energy to be with my family and friends. I on the other hand feel that I need to keep working to keep my sanity through all of this...I love what I do, I feel I help people navigate their way through their illness as I work in Disability Management. How silly I can help others through their disability but not myself?!?

Either way I thought I would put it out to the group and see how many people are still able to work with this crazy WG and if you are no longer working when did you know it was time to stop.....was it your choice to stop working or did WG make that decision for you?

Overall I feel that I am not as effective as I once was at work, I get tried easy and find it a bit of struggle to concentrate on a project for to long. I can make it through the day physically but I am pretty tried when I get home and don't feel much like evening adventures. I enjoy my job, I have for the most part great clients, my co-workers offer support, and I like that I have a distraction through the day. My employer is aware of my condition and is understanding in the sense that they have allowed me to have a very flexible schedule, and allow me to attend doctor's appointments ect.. My doctor's at this point are not overly present, I am in the process of searching for new specialists as the few I have seen since moving to another province have not been great nor did they understand or know much about WG.

I am looking forward to hearing your stories and helping my spouse and I come to decision, after all I am asking the professionals

Thanks everyone!
