Me and my teenage son take walks in the evening. I make sure to apply sunscreen in the morning, reapply in the evening, and apply mosquito repellent.
My pain has reduced, and I make sure to regularly stretch. I experienced muscle spasms a few times last week. I also drink a lot of water. I struggle with avoiding sweets, but I’m not giving up. Last summer, I took a trip, and my healthy eating habits took a nose dive. I am determined to turn things around. Yesterday, I noticed signs of depression. A big telltale sign for me is procrastination: not making my bed, dishes piling up in the sink, dirty clothes on the floor instead of the hamper, etc. I called my daughter and chatted with her while I cleaned. It was nice to see an empty sink, and declutterred countertops. I picked up my dirty clothes and made my bed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Over the last two weeks, I have tried to donate blood to the Red Cross twice. Each time, my iron was too low. I reached out to my primary physician to report and explain other symptoms. I was struggling with fatigue and procrastination, and I could feel myself slipping into depression. My primary physician ordered labs and said low iron could trigger my depression. I’ve been eating foods containing iron and hope to not need another vitamin or supplement. I learned that iron is not part of the usual autoimmune disease lab panel. I don’t understand why, since vitamin deficiency is very common among people who have immune diseases, such as myself. The standard lab panel checks for vitamin deficiencies except iron deficiency.

Last week, I signed up for Ticket-to-Work through the Social Security Administration. My youngest son turns 18 this month, and my income will change. I need to at least work part-time. I am happy to report that my new HAE injection treatments seem to be working. My HAE attacks have slowed down a lot. I received hospital bills from my last few HAE attacks. Working will help me get them paid off.
I have an assigned vocational case manager. We had a phone conversation this week and discussed resumes. I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety over how to explain the gap in my employment history. My case manager explained that I should list volunteer work and explain during interviews that I took time off to raise a family. My kids are all grown, and I am returning to work. Being disabled is very hard, and I understand that it varies greatly from person to person, depending on the type of disability (disabilities) in addition to the severity. I have a very close relationship with my youngest son, and that’s mainly because I started receiving SSDI when he was in fourth grade. He’s a senior in high school, and I still take him to school and pick him up. I have been able to attend all his school events, band concerts, band competitions, open house events, and parent-teacher conferences. I participated in school carnivals, bake sales, and helped chaperone events. I dropped him off and picked up him and his classmates. I found a few articles that discuss returning to the workforce. I hope others find the articles helpful too. •Stay-at-home-mom valuable transferable skills. Just a moment... •Finding a job/reentering the workforce after being a stay-at-home-mom. Just a moment... •Finding a job/reentering the workforce after a long absence. Just a moment... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
