Struggling with health

I feel like my muscle weakness and spasms are getting out of control. Yesterday I cried at work over being in pain and sensory overload and today was worse. I was late to work over it and left early so my boss offered to let me stay home tomorrow if need be. I really hate that I can’t be a reliable person, but my health isn’t reliable at all.

What does your doctor say is the cause of it?

Functional neurological disorder and fibromyalgia

That sucks @Moon . That’s a very real phenomenon that happens to people. Are you working with a therapist to help you deal with life better?

I’d take the day off if they’re offering it… I know it sucks to feel “unreliable” but we really can’t blame ourselves for being sick. sometimes I feel like I’m lazy but realistically I do a lot for someone who’s sz and has an injured back. You’re a hard worker too! You’ve worked for years and years in I’ll health. It’s ok to take a break :slight_smile:
