My 10 cents tells me that less stress is better for any disease/situation.

Stress is not a good thing. Go for it!

Hi Jill,

If you can manage with one income, perhaps it would be better for you

especially if you have a high stress job. I do realize that it is a difficult

decision, but being able to take care of yourself and your family is really a

higher

priority.

Good luck with your decision Jill. And by the way, what wonderful parents

you must have to be willing to replace your income! You are very blessed!

Jill my neph said reducing my stress level was a big factor in getting

things under control. Not only does it help reduce your blood pressure but

it also helps your bodies natural healing process...high stress delays

healing in many cases. If you can swing a leave of absence or even swing

quitting all together I would go for it. Sounds like you have a very

supportive husband and loving family behind you. I closed my business for 3

months when I was going thru my initial diagnosis and medication juggling.

I work out of the house running my own business (talk about stress) and

homeschool my two kids (6 and 9 yrs old talk about more stress) and do most

of the household stuff like cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc... Just taking

those few months off and not having to worry about work on top of everything

was well worth it as far as my health was concerned. It's hard to do when

you are a work-a-holic mom, you feel guilty about not contributing to the

household budget, you feel guilty about not being able to do many things you

used to, but then you realize you only have one body and once it's

gone...... Give yourself a break if you can, it's well worth it in the end.
