Thanks Laurie I totally agree that shift work isn't ideal for someone with BP. My p-doc agrees and after my diagnosis/medical leave I had to convince her to sign off on permission to work shift.

I LOVE my job. The parts of my job I like is the variety and my favorite part of my job duties are done on night shift (I'm an Inspector with the Gaming and Liquor Commission). I have been back on shift since 2008. At this point I'm not willing to give up my position and it's the one thing that I feel my diagnosis hasn't taken away.......I know dramatic, but for me it's the truth.

I appreciate your input and I'm not disagreeing with your point and later on in my career I may decide the risk isn't worth being happy in a job. I will also note the field I'm in, educational background, the majority of the positions (that pay decently) are all shift work unless one wants a desk job, manager/supervisor position. That doesn't interest me. I can't stand being in the office all day.
