Day 31 Professional impact

My boss is aware I have pain issues and have had to see a lot of doctors, and that it is likely to continue monitoring the syrinx. He is thankfully good about time off as long as we have PPO available and he has never given me grief for calling off when something is in a bad flare. We recently found out we have to go back into the office two days a week (we have been WFH since March 2020) and I am very unhappy about it and see it causing more symptom flares, so I'm not sure what will happen. With days like today when the GERD is the worst issue (it scares me more than the syrinx due to how long I have had it and the damage it can do to my esophagus) I feel less hopeful this increase in stress will turn out okay as far as symptoms go. I'm thinking through ways to manage it.
