I work from home also. I love it! You are tied to the computer and get breaks and lunch. Calls may be monitired. If planning to do this you need to understand this is NOT something you can do while caring for your child. You also must have a quiet environment as the head phone will pick up any noise and your office space must be HIPPA compliant. You cannot be providing child care, elder care and your pets must be quiet. Please also realize you are socially isolated from your peers. If it is not busy you are just sitting staring at a computer. I break the monotony by using my personal computer to surf the web. I do not advise using the work computer to do so as anything you are doing when a call comes in is recorded and if you are being "shadowed" the perosn watching can see what you are doing. So dont balance your checkbook on your work computer. It is not for everyone but if you can live with those constraints then go for it. I am in my 3rd year as an advice line/triage nurse.

I was dx with HNP at C 2-3, 4-5, and 6-7. The herniatin at 6-7 was causing severe arm and shoulder pain. PY helped a lot but then I was rear-ended in a MVA causing all sx to return and PT did not help. I was terrified of surgery but had no choice. Had fusion of C 6-7 just over 2 years ago and have been pain free since. Best of luck and I hope you find relief.
