Instead, since "I didn't look anything like what they were told to expect from me" they had me doing most all of it myself. I did walking and some floor exercises and I did get alot of ahoulder work done but all this in such a way that little by little each week I was thrown more and more into a flare that in the end became massive. Granted, after the flare receded I did have vast improvement but not at all sure it was necessary to put me so far down to raise me up in the end. I think your more gentle way would have been so much more effective in the end and with way less pain and suffering. I SO should have greeted them at the door with dirty hair and ragged pj's and quiet to the point of withdrawn, like I had been all spring and summer long, instead of being clean, dressed, polite and friendly. **pfffttt*<br /><br />But yay, DSon-in-law for stepping in with this wonderful idea for you. It really will pay off in the long run for you. Maybe someday you will be able to do more but even if not, this will be a great treatment for you today. :)LisaFayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597054504283548450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995652542449756849.post-82225663559384228212012-12-10T01:47:07.745+00:002012-12-10T01:47:07.745+00:00Looking forward to following along when you start ...Looking forward to following along when you start up again :)Libhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02111898320049663116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995652542449756849.post-11540975080605685992012-11-30T22:38:50.255+00:002012-11-30T22:38:50.255+00:00I have thoroughly enjoyed this month with you and,...I have thoroughly enjoyed this month with you and, while glad for you that it is done, I shall miss it so very much.

As hard as it is, sometimes, to be me, I would much rather be in this body than in the one having to watch as I struggle day to day.<br />I would add one other piece of advice, one I must say over and over to my own hubby: Go...do...and do not feel guilt at leaving me behind. Not all the time, or even every time activities are offered. But do not give up your interests in life simply because I no longer can participate. <br /><br />You, my DD are wise beyond your years. :)LisaFayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597054504283548450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995652542449756849.post-87406919898812468522012-11-15T23:46:44.507+00:002012-11-15T23:46:44.507+00:00LOL...oh my.

It looked interesting and as I scanned thru it this article jumped off the screen at me - I can relate to it so well. I too worked for a big insurance firm (in Glasgow) for almost 20 yrs. <br />My health (CFS) forced me to resign back in 1997 after working there all that time - and getting all my professional qualifications etc. And I left with nothing at all financially - just a big sense of relief like you. But also very angry at some of the dreadful management tactics. Bullying, favourites, clichs, impossible targets, picking on very petty things, etc. My quality of work was always high & praised - but I got picked on for more petty things. And the yearly performance reviews were maybe 80% based on personality things.<br />It was just awful. I always had to dispute what was written about me - but it was so exhausting just to prove that a small-minded petty manager was wrong. My husband said that the amount of preparation I had to do to challenge those appraisals must have been less than a lawyer preparing for a court case . . ! And none of it even got a salary increase - it was more to prevent a salary reduction. All while some other people (favourites etc) got away with murder, cutting corners and rubbish quality of work. But that didn't matter if you were "in" with the boss. An example of bullying - a friend of mine was told in writing (in his annual review) that he had to "change his sense of humour" as the younger members of his team didn't always "get" his jokes. He was a witty man with a dry sense of humour. And his work and experience were well respected. But how on earth was he meant to achieve that target ? His boss was nearer the age of his team members and just didn't like him. <br />Anyway after feeling more and more ill for years and years (with a useless GP) I finally just had to walk away after 20 yrs - when chest pains were becoming regular on top of all the other symptoms that would eventually be diagnosed as CFS 5 or 6 years later. I still have a lot of anger about so much of that time - but very glad I am not still there.<br />I will never know whether that job caused my CFS - or whether I already had it and that was what made the job pressures eventually impossible to handle for me. I guess I will never know the answer to that one.<br />Sorry this is so long - but I just had to leave a response. As reading your story - and Chris's comments - took me right back in time almost as if it was yesterday.<br />Again - I'm sorry this is so long.<br />All my best wishes to you.<br />Anne Dean (AnneDean10 on twitter)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995652542449756849.post-5720566798651271992012-05-14T14:18:30.177+01:002012-05-14T14:18:30.177+01:00Hi, I 've just joined and become a follower.
