WORKING FROM HOME AND HEALTH BENIFITS

I HAVE BEEN WORKING A 40 HR WORK WEEK FOR THE PAST 9 MONTHS SINCE BEING DIAGNOSED WITH THE FIBRO, AND ITS GETTING TO BE TOO MUCH. I HAVE AN HOUR DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY, ALONG WITH STRESS AND NO TIME TO MYSELF ANYMORE. THROUGH ALL OF THIS I TRY TO DEAL WITH THE AWFUL PAIN AND EXHAUSTION ALL THE TIME. I THINK IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER IF I TRY TO WORK FROM HOME. I WAS CONSIDERING EBAY, CRAFT SHOWS, CONSIGNMENT, ETC. IF I LEAVE MY PRESENT JOB I WILL LOSE MY HELATH BENIFITS AND DON'T KNOW IF I COULD AFFORD THEM ON MY OWN. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR WOULD ENJOY HEARING FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A SIMILIAR SITUATTION. THANK YOU!
