Epidodics find work difficult during episodes. Episodic mothers will have some very difficult times looking after the kids.
When I was chronic I found it impossible to have any employment. Our Social Security (not always easy to convince) doctors agreed and give me disability through CH.
Moira and Tracy are chronics who have no choice but to keep it all together because they have children. Some of you will be in the same position.
Someone like me just can't imagine how much determination and strength of character that must involve, particularly if you get little assistance from your doctor. It's hard for you because it IS hard. You are showing the rest of us what people with CH can achieve.
