I have an undx condition that causes stifling nerve, bone, vascular, muscle, and joint pain. Daily. Every miserable f*cking day of my life. The nerve pain bothers me the most as it’s constant but intensifies.
What’s more, is it’s exacerbated with use (walking, typing, brushing my hair, holding a book, eating, etc.) and comes full force in flares.
I work as a nurse as-needed and in pathology/lab full-time. I call out OFTEN bc I’m in pain that brings me to tears often.
I’ve been dropped from schedule before, from a job that didn’t irritate the nerve pain. His reason was because he was “looking out for me”.
Can’t get disability without a dx.
Can’t find a job that doesn’t require the use of HANDS.
Don’t know how to frame it to my employer that my condition is unpredictable, and I can be running one minute, and crumpled on the floor crying the next.
Idk what I’m asking Reddit for lol. Emotional support? Suggestions? Job suggestions? Plans to steal a giant diamond? The will to carry on?
Please write words below. And, yes. Writing this out hurt like hell. Don’t disappoint me.
