I told him about my concern last time and he had a good laugh. He said i've been off work for 20 years and that if he ever tells me to go back to work *i* can fire *him*! We had a good laugh.

Wow, I'm going through the same thing right now! I feel at the top of my game but I don't want to go back to work yet. I've been out for a year and I feel like after everything I've been through I need a break to enjoy this moment of happiness! Which miiiight blow up before my next appointment
but my pdoc always says, "Let's just take it day by day."
I'm so glad for all the responses here. I can relate to all of them. I don't know anyone who really understands BD and I keep this kind of thing a secret from my family to avoid fights.
