Being employed is an opportunity many of us are fortunate to have. However, having chronic pain in the workplace is frowned upon.
My chronic pain is quite disabling at times, making work next to impossible at times. Working in Nursing there aren't too many accommodations that can be given when you can't walk. Having to provide care to sick patients when you're sick yourself is not a good feeling. Supervisors are not understanding, and the name of the game is to have a "body" in position regardless of the condition. It's about accountability.
There are so many sick people, caring for the sick on a daily basis. I have good days and bad days, I wish I could predict the order in which they would come. Praying healing and happiness to everyone who reads my blog and beyond!

I too am a nurse, my FMS became so unpredicatable I had to give up work in the middle of my Msc. So many nurses have FMS it is quite unbelievable that we push ourselves to the limit everyday. I wish you luck with your struggle. Helen x
