I work full-time. To be able to work I need: 1) meds 2) exercise 3) low carb diet 4) lots of sleep. If any of these things are not happening, then I'm sicker and have to suffer it out at work. During the workweek, I don't go out anywhere, I come straight home. Not even to dinner or anyplace as I need to go to bed very early, need lots of sleep. And the support of my DH. Sometimes with men you have to tell them over and over what you need and how you feel. If I don't say anything for awhile he thinks I'm "better", even tho I just don't want to discuss it anymore. We've been married 26 years and he still doesn't always get it. I'm trying to make it to retirement, which is 12 years. But I can't think of it that way, thats too overwhelming. Some days I get to work and think I won't make it an hour. So I try for the hour and sometimes I shoot for noon and then "surprise" I make it all day. Every day is a big challenge. Take it one day, and sometimes one hour, at a time. Communicate to your husband what you need from him, try to make him understand. He won't *really* understand tho, so the bottom line is that you have to take care of yourself and do the best you can. Take care and hang in there !!
