How to Get Spouse to Understand that I am Unable to Work FT
Posted: Wed Oct 27, 2010 11:47 am
Hi everyone,
I have mild MS. My main symptom is fatigue. I am now working 4 hrs/day which is fine. This has put financial pressure on the family. My husband is determined to get me to work full time.
I get so tired by the afternoon that I fall asleep. I actually fell asleep while driving on the highway at 1pm. I crossed lanes and almost went in the ditch on the other side. Thank the good lord there was no one in the other lane. It's one thing to kill myself; but another thing if I kill someone else.
My husband feels that as long as I don't drive I should be able to work full time.
He doesn't get it.
How does everyone else deal with this?
