I feel your pain. I worked for 18 yrs after diagnosis but it all became too much. I went down to PT to 30 hr a wk to keep my insurance but even PT I was sick a lot of the time. Eventually I had to quit & go on permanent disability. I've done much better because I can nap if I need to & pace myself so I don't get over tired. Talk to your Rheumatologist & decide what works better for you. There's no shame in taking care of yourself. I was on short term & long term disability many times before I had to finally stop working. The feeings you are havng are part of having Lupus. Everyone on this site has probably experienced many if not all of them. Good Luck to you

I feel like that some mornings, I just don't feel well, and wonder how I'm going to get through the day.... When I get home from work, I rest, and sometimes I just go to bed. Usually I feel this way after I've done too much over the weekend and haven't gotten the rest I need. I think its ok to allow yourself to just 'feel bad'.
