Yes, I was able to manage working and happy to get through a 40 week because we need the income to manage our household comfortably. My husband is on a mission to get us debt-free so in the event that I have to come off the job earlier than I planned, we would not be swamped with debts.
With that said, since each person's experience with most types of auto-immune diseases, especially lupus, is different and each reacts to medical treatments differently, time will tell as to whether or not prednisone will be beneficial for you. Best wishes.View Thread

I am really amazed at some of the testimonies others have shared on this site regarding their daily activity. I wonder how do they do it. I'm grateful that my diagnosis has only been within the last 2 1/2 years (no problems before) & my children are grown, although not completely out of the house (working on that one). I can't imagine if I had to deal with this illness with toddlers, trying to maintain a clean house & other domesticated duties, plus work outside of the home. I just go work (40 hrs) and that's about all I can stand as it takes every ounce of energy I have just doing that and nothing else.
Well, I pray that things get better for you, that you find some extra moments of rest - physically, mentally & emotionally - and that your husband is not only strengthened, but comes to the realization that he needs to do his share so that you both can try to balance your well-being and help make life easier for each other.View Thread
