Hello irene....like you i am in the medical field, a LPN. I haven't experienced any harrassment from management as of yet reguarding my inter work relating skills, but I can tell they are getting somewhat disgruntled due to my missing work r/t these clusters. I think thus far my only saving grace on that is that is the fact that i've had a few full blown clusters at work, that took me out of commission, and my peers ended up having to assist me, but atleast they saw first hand what it was like for me, and that I wasn't just pulling the wool over someones eyes to take days off. It is very embarrassing to me to know that they have seen me in this capacity of a sniffling, writhing, crying lump on the floor, but it has given me alot of comfort in just the pure fact that no one there can say I'm a liar....odd the things one should have to feel they need to prove when they sufferer from such horrific pain. The best of luck to you.
