Phillip's Story
I quit my Corporate Sector job about a year ago because of health issues that I just couldn't seem to resolve. After several months of getting sick then getting better again, then getting sick again, over and over again, I finally came down with a really nasty bug that I just couldn't shake for over two months. It was then that my doctor diagnosed me with Sarcoidosis.
So I have a chronic auto-immune disease. Luckily, it's a manageable one, and it more than likely won't kill me, or at least not directly. So for the time being, I'm just staying at home and acting as housewife...er, house-husband...Make that Domestic Engineer until I get better. I just got over the illness that helped my doctors find the Sarcoidosis, and with all the lovely allergens in the air at this time...Expand for more
of year, I've basically been a wheezing, coughing mess. Luckily I married a nurse, and she keeps pretty good tabs on my condition. The good news is that despite the fact that I've been really sick for the past fiscal quarter, I have lost weight. But then again, being sick will do that to a person.
It has been a year and a month since I left my Corporate Sector job that I never really wanted in the first place, and I haven't missed it one bit. I still do have the occasional nightmare that I'm late for work or that they're calling me when I'm not supposed to be on-call, but that sort of thing is happening less and less nowadays.
It's kind of hard to explain this sort of thing in a multiple guess format. I don't want people thinking I'm a bum or something.
Even though I am.
