I started working full time at a decent but low paying job. I was recently diagnosed with erythadema nardosa and have a very active social life with my BF who is an officer in the Air Force. I'm thinking of cutting down to PT so I will be able to keep our home neater and it won't feel like such a struggle to attend all our get togethers. My BF is the most sweet and kind man in the world but organizing our home is not his strong side The less hours will benefit my health as well since my diagnosis can have some severe side effects. What have other woman done in this situation?

It manifests itself that way, but, it could also mean sarcoid, lupus, RA, cancers etc, Google and read more if you are going to read about if before you prepare to slam me. Painful nodules all over my legs are not fun.

I did Google it. I don't think you spelled it exactly right, so I was trying to learn more about it before I replied.

Erythema nodosum. Exquisitely painful skin lesions ("rash") -usually on the legs - which are typically associated with autoimmune diseases. Generally chronic and recurrent and may be preceded by flu-like symptoms, joint pain and swelling, and leg swelling and pain.

OP: Since your job is low-paying anyway, I think you should consider the pros and cons of balancing that while maintaining an active social life in the setting of a chronic, potentially debilitating disease. Scaling back to part time would certainly reduce your stress and help you accomplish your set goals.

All the best.

Wow, a bit sensitive, aren't ya. The poster you responded to only asked for clarification. What happened, did his mother call again? Maybe you should to p/t to intercept those calls.

OP you have to do what is best for you. if going to part time would relieve some stress and prevent health issues, then that is what you have to do.

Aren't you the chick that is still married, going through a bankruptcy, and wants her boyfriend of not-very-long to stop talking to his 78 year old mother?

Keep your job; you're going to need it.

Keep your job. Seriously. What if you two break up? What about health insurance? Going part-time often means a loss of benefits like that.

Don't put yourself in a precarious position just to keep the house clean for him. He can get off his arse and do his share when you give him a honey-do list.
