Well today I went back to work after 3 weeks off.............why I don't know as it has killed me, I ache all over, my shoulders and back are on fire and my head is banging.

After the 2 hour drive I should have known better, but it has to be done, because the bills ain't going to pay themselves.....time to look for something different and a bit closer me thinks....

Hope your day was a bit better than mine and you are not in too much pain..

It is so frustrating, I was told the same as you lucindaJane, that I was ok to go back to work, but after the drive I still felt dizzy, so had another week off unpaid, so had no choice but to go back today........ It's a really long day too, I am up at 6, to be on road by 6.30, I don't start till 8.30.........and then I'm not home till gone 6 most days, managed to slope off early today....lol.... So with that, I'm pretty much dead on my feet, I don't think ill make it till Wed......... :(

Hi good for you for doing that but dont make yourself in a state if you cant do it see if you can do part time or come another arragement nothing is worth your health take care and hope you better today love Diddle x
