Hi Bobw,
Just noticed you're online and wanted to say thanks for your response re work decisions. I've decided not to respond too quickly to my employer, but to give myself time to think about how I really feel when the sense of panic has subsided.
Your reply, and others, has helped me. It feels good to have other people to discuss these things with. I've isolated myself from fellow sufferers for too long (first diagnosed in 2003) and am just beginning to come out of my self imposed hermitage.
Many thanks,
Skatergirl
