My feelings on this right now? It could have been worse, I was worried about cancer on the spine. I know this is a disease that I will live with for the rest of my life, but at least it's not cancer. How's that for optimism?
Due to the symptoms I am having right now, and have had for three weeks, I go into the hospital tomorrow for IV steroids. I have to do this for three days, and hopefully this will help the flare up go down quicker. If not, I deal with it until gone I guess.
Tomorrow I call my job and tell them I'm coming back even though I'm unable to perform all my job duties right now. From what I understand through the Americans with Disabilites Act, they can't tell me I can't work. And if they fight me, which I KNOW they will, they don't have a leg to stand on. Their corporate policy is you can't work if can't perform your duties at 100%. But now that I have a diagnosis, I don't they they can prevent me from coming back.
I am actually doing well considering the news. I know I can live with and deal with this.
Multiple Sclerosis.
