I went to my doc yesterday requesting some time off. I feel like I am extremely overwhelmed with work and life in general. I work full time and have 7 year old triplets and a 10 year old. I switched docs earlier this year since I felt my previous doc had tried everything she could do. So my new docs reply to this was "I would like some time off, I just don't see a reason you should be off". I work non call all weekend. Days have been up to 20 hrs long and by Monday morning I feel like I have been hit by a truck. It takes me all week to recover from the damage working and not resting enough does to my body. I am in a lot of pain, my memory sucks, I am very emotional and grumpy most the time. He said maybe I should see a specialist. I live in a smaller city and there are no specialists that I know of. I have had a sleep study, seen 2 rheumatologist, and go to a chiropractor and nothing has helped. To make this all worse, my husband believes the fibro is all in my head as we'll and I should just go to work and suck it up. Help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
