tonya,
I know it seems sometimes like everyone is against you, it is horrible.
I have had some trouble with missing work, but what I did was actually
sit down and give my boss paperwork on my disease, I explained the
severe side effects some people have, and when i started taking Met I
warned him that I may have some troubles with it. I firmly believe that
men bosses are easier to deal with than women, that is just my opinion,
I have had both and the women always made my life hell when I missed
work.
I am so sorry your fiance is not being agreeable, but like you said it
is hard for him because he can not fix the problem, but he also needs to
realize that you just do not need his crap right now. This is going to
sound bad, but I once told my husband to stand still and let me kick him
as hard as I could in the privates, then run him to the emergency room
so they could poke and prode and stick there fingers where they do not
belong, then tell him to just go home and take a hot bath to soothe the
pain, and give him some tylenol. hehehe Now whenever he gets a bug up
his but I lean back and act like I am going to kick him in the jimmy :)
then he remembers what I said. oops, sorry this is so long. Take care
of yourself, we are always here. Sometimes men are pigs, and bosses are
asses. We live in a world of animals, BAH!
