Well done Mandy You are not a failure please never think that. Like others have said you have no control over illness just be thankful that you have been able to acheive most of your goals and I'm sure you will find things in life to keep you occupied. Take Care and Enjoy your retirement Regards Jackie

Mandy, How can you be a failure concerning an illness over which you have no contol. Don't even joke about that. I think it is incredible that you have been able to work for the last 12 years suffering with such a debilitating illness. Look on the bright side Mandy. You can now do all the things you promised yourself while you were working. Good luck and enjoy. Jean x.

…… at work. I’ve been a School Administrator for the last 12 years and when I was first diagnosed with ME, we worked out some coping strategies so that I could continue my job (especially with regular school holidays). However, the latest flare-up was a bad one made worse by the pressures of the job and after discussions with my GP etc, I’ve finally had to admit defeat. I feel a failure that I’m now considered ‘unfit for work’ but hopefully I might be able to get something part-time in the future. So now I’m a Lady Who Lunches (because I haven’t had a lunch break at work for the past 5 years lol). I can also continue making my greetings cards, which are selling well, and maybe even do some family history! Mandy :)
