I am in sales too. New home sales. I do NOT know how you guys are doing it.  I am in and out of the model home all day long, constantly talking to people, in and out of my car and it is already hot here in Texas.  I just cannot imagine being able to work. My plan is to go out on disability and see how things go. Once I get settled and see how my sx will be,  I may try and go back and just do another position for the time being.

I'm amazed that you guys can still keep up with your work schedule - for a period of 3-4 weeks on incivek, I was sleeping 17 hours a day. 12 hours at night, followed by lunch, then a 5 hour nap.

4 weeks more, parmigo!

I just finished week 9 and am 2 days into week 10. The last couple weeks have been rough. However I've been und since week 2 and my blood work is edging up slightly so that's promising. 3 Weeks of incivek left and then I'm hoping to feel a bit better. I'm in sales also and this time away has had it's effect on my work.  

 

Hang in there pamigo!!

You can do it Pamigo.  I just finished the Incivek and work in sales as well.  I already feel cleaner and more clearheaded.  I'm lucky in that I work in a type of sales with mostly longer term accounts.  Cause this year I'm definitely a farmer, not a hunter.

-Take water on presentations.  I would meet with a client for an hour and be fine.  But upon leaving realize I needed to guzzle some water or be quickly feeling like crap.

-Beware of depression.  I didn't take any anti-meds and during weeks 8-12 I could feel a little bit.  Nothing self-destructive but it became much easier to procrastinate easy tasks and callbacks, let alone more challenging things.  As our field requires substantial self-motivation this can be damaging if not held in check.

And here's some humor to brighten your day. smile  All the Best, Dave

Friends,

Hit the 8 week incivek wall. You know what i am talkin about. work in sales so i have had my challenges.

Took 3 weeks to get my 5 weeks labs back. what a long time for your mind to wander. still detactable but under 25. so that is still very positive...yea...

On my last month of invivek...come on blue skies and good labs.

The chance for freedom has really kept my spirits well.

 

What a group and what a ride we are on. Wow!

 

Best to all Pamigo
