managing working and finances

hi all,

I’m looking for some advice I work full time 36 hours for a charity in women’s health and need some help.

With my endometriosis symptoms I can get extreme pain, fatigue and brain fog which play a havoc with working and affect my ability to work at times.

Its not all the time but now more than I’ve ever experienced I’m struggling to work and with that struggling to stay financially afloat with paying my basic household bills and expenses.

My husband also works full time and we use his wage also to manage. However I’ve just found out due to the extreme pain I was experiencing last month and the amount of time I’ve had to take off work and my company sick pay running out I’m due to miss nearly half of my wages to come through at the end of the month.

I guess what I’m asking is what do you all do to cope if you have this issue? I have every pain medication that I’m allowed to take. (not allowed nsaids due to other medical condition) and we are on a TTC journey so don’t want to be on any form of contraception.

Thank you in advance :)
