Joy is not the absence of suffering. It is the presence of God.
Cut aspartame from my diet in 2012 and my symptoms have slowly disappeared. Interesting!
Alpha Lipoic Acid (200 mg) + Acetyl L-carnitine (1,000 mg) = No more fatigue for me!

Feeling for you!
I never had to work and was a happy 'at home' mom to my two sons till age 44 when I went to work part time and moved to full time. It's not easy, but then I was healthy and my MS undx'd.
If you love your job it is really tough to leave it, but your works sounds like it would be in demand and surely someone would work with you on hours.
Frankly, Your 20 hours of working at night sounds really hard. You also said (I think) that you worked full time, so since I could only find 20 hours in your old schedule are you saying the work you did at home made up the other 20?
It's an awful feeling having to worry if you ask for special hours or to 'work something out' that your employer might just let you go to find someone else who can work the hours! Also it is difficult to find a good paying job and benefits. Employers are worried about what the Obama healthcare plan will mean to their bottom line.
My dh had a good job with great benefits (all of which we lost when he retired). That was unexpected!
Now in the 'over 65 category' we have very costly health insurance, even with Medicare. Medicare, by the way, is not 'free'. We paid for it and deductions come out of our social security for it, plus we have to pay for supplemental plans for each of us, drug plan, dental and vision! Wow, who'd have thought.
I know that I could likely not work a regular day so i can feel so sympathetic to your situation. How frustrating!
Wish I had a solution.
I worked as long as I could, but my parents became ill and needed help, so I cut my hours and eventually had to call it quits.
People tend to think I'm lucky that we could get by on one income, but it meant that the extra money I might have put aside for our 'golden' years never happened.
I hope someone here has a creative solution. Have you looked into working entirely from home?
Wishing you the best. DianeYou cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.

But as I said, I love my job and can't imagine doing anything else. Maybe I need to exercise more or something. There's got to be an answer. I won't go down without a fight! LOL!Joy is not the absence of suffering. It is the presence of God.
