Yeah.. I know how you feel. At a previous job I was hauled before the personnel manager and got a rollicking for having too many days off sick! I currently work for a company that understands my illness.
I hate being off sick, and will always try to get to work. Which is a bit pointless, when you are sitting at your desk with your back killing you and your head buzzing from the pain killers.
When AS finally floors me, I ring work at 9:00am to say I can't come in and then I spend the rest of the day worrying about what they may think or do.
When I sense people are doubting me, I give them a lecture on AS and how it effects me. I don't care if I bore them, I just want them to understand that I am not work shy or lazy.
