My experience-Once again, I can’t keep it simple
I just recently was able to obtain FMLA protection for my ongoing migraines. I just found a doctor who is going through the steps to help me figure out how to treat my migraines since they have exploded in frequency and duration since January 2021.
So what do I go and do? I went and applied for a new job in my field that would get me back into an office working full time (as opposed to my WFH job currently) with a shiny new title and fantastic pay raise. But it means I have to move, lose my FMLA protection since it’s not transferable, and potentially start over with a new doctor because relocating across the Phoenix metro from East Mesa to the west valley will make commuting back this way for a doctor a hassle in terms of traffic etc.
I am very much excited and want to make this new job work but I’m terrified that I’m cutting off my nose to spite my face i.e. walking away from my bubble and going back into the “real” world where I can’t work from my bed.
My fiancé firmly believes that the massive uptick in my migraines is centered around my current situation. I let the pandemic turn me into a hermit so I never leave the house unless it’s absolutely necessary, I’ve gained 50lbs since the start of the pandemic in early 2020, and yes, long Covid has been part of the equation. That being said, he still wants me to get the MRI that my doctor ordered to rule out anything physical and then keep going with them to get help. He thinks that once we move, it’ll relieve a ton of stress and let me find myself again.
Thanks for reading… I know it was long but I needed to vent. I just hope I’m not going to look back in 6 months at where we are right now and be filled with regret.
