“As with many life-altering events, an autoimmune illness is almost guaranteed to cause you to re-evaluate your priorities.”
― Joan Friedlander, Women, Work, and Autoimmune Diease

“The 40-hour work week, long considered the gold standard, has quietly and insidiously stretched into 50 to 60 hours. Despite this accepted practice, social commentators and the average person agree that functioning at such a pace can't possibly be good for one's mental or physical health. /So I ask you: if the expanded work-week isn't healthy for someone in good physical condition, how can it possibly be acceptable for someone with a chronic illness? Quite simply, it's not.”
