hello Jenna, ive been looking out for a post from you because i was wondering how your appt went - i have always unfortunately found that when i work myself up for an appointment where i have loads of q's or i think something significant will happen, it tends to be the appt where the consultant is off sick, or i wait 3 hours and get seen for about 2 minutes!
Anyway, not sure about the answer to your question, but i do know 2 things
1) your health is more of a priority than your work. I have spent years thinking that full time work was the primary thing for me as it made me feel "normal" and not disabled. I also used to worry that only i know certain things and if i was off sick, everything would be rubbish. My recent experience of losing my daughter has made me realise that although it's nice to work i actually just at the moment couldn't care less about it. i know it's a bit different for me because i am married and we probably could just about survive on my hiusbans wages, but you should really consider what is most important - YOUR HEALTH. PS i had to leave work with no notice and they are managing fine without me.
2) you need to get some strategies for looking after yourself better. I really belive that eating a good diet really helps general health, as does getting a good balance between exercise and rest; work and lesuire (i am making assumptions, but from previous posts you seem to work v hard and not look after yourself very well!)
