Aren't CH's terrible?
You wonder about coping, kids, job, family?
Don't feel guilty. Gently and in a friendly manner, but very firmly, ask room for your ailment. From friends, from bosses, from family members.
Be a great manager. Arrange your work hours around your hours of pain. And:
Take a very good look at all the things you think you SHOULD do, and ask yourselve why you think so.
It is a woman's thing, you know. Trying to be the perfect home maker, and friend, and mother, and career woman, and lover, and cook and... perfectly healthy of course.
You get what I mean. You might be happier and a lot less hassled.
Try out the love and caring of the people around you. They may have more than you think. Don't forget, with all that you give, it is your due to get at least something back.
Courage, Annemarie
