I have an entire 2 months of paperwork to get caught up on. I am way behind in work. I have no sick time. I was off Mon, Tues with this sinus pain and pressure and dizziness. At one point an on call doc gave me an antibiotic. A few days later I ended in the hospital e.r. for excrutiating head pain. My briain is mush. I am trying to work and I just can't think. Doc switched antibiotics yesterday. My face still hurts, I feel weak and my body aches. I feel like I am faking it and I have too darned much work to do. All I want to do is sleep. I ate, thinking that would help. Nope. I dranks lots of water, nope. I just want to sleep and I am afraid I am faking and I am afraid I will lose my job. My legs hurt! What on earth is going on here? I want to feel better.

From all you describe Wise, it really doesn't sound like you're faking it. Rather, it sounds like you;re going through a lot of pain and illness right now and I wish it wasn't so. Is there no way you can take time from work? Temporary leave of absence? Maybe start working part-time? I hope things improve soon. Things sound very unpleasant for you right now.

I could peel onions and make myself cry and see if that clears the sinuses. I am tired and dizzy. It is no fun. I wonder how gracefully I would accept a disability like MS or MD or a stroke. I bet I would be a royal PIA. Pain in arse.
