Reply #22: This is what I am...... [View All]

going through right now. I have a autoimmune disorder which has kept myself out of work for the past two weeks and has been a constant bane for me for quite some time. I have been having dizzy spells for the past three months that have been on a more and more consistent basis. Episodes of abnormal fatigue which has become worse lately with strenuous physical activity, I do not feel tired but completely shut down. I tried to go back to work yesterday and became fatigued within a couple of hours; had a few instances where I blacked out for about half a second; "toughed it out" for the day and wound up going to the ER from it.

It is a catch 22. Go to work, at a well paying stressful job, so I have the insurance and money for the resulting expenses (e.g. being off of work for two weeks, and now, counting). But it is that job that is "killing" me.

Like Sarah Palin eluded to. It would just suck to wind up like a socialist country like Sweden, that country is the armpit of humanity. :sarcasm:
