I think resigning from your job was absolutely the right move, and something that respecting yourself and the importance of your health requires.
If your dad can't accept that, perhaps get your new doctor to say something to him about how it's important for your health, if he would be more willing to accept that from a doctor?
Also, if you have to frame it this way, you can justify quitting as being better for your long-term job prospects. Letting your health deteriorate will make it even harder to work later on.
*hugs* I hope that things improve for you (both in terms of physical health and circumstances).
He gets really angry every time I talk about it. It's like he's not willing to hear it because if he ignores reality everything will be fine. I don't know if listening to a doctor will help; he's sorta decided that I'm giving up prematurely, when only I can know if that's really the case. I keep pointing out to him that at work, I'm not really working most of the day, and yet I am drawing a full day's paycheck, and oddly, this does not affect his opinion on the matter, which seems out of character for him. I think rationality has gone out the window.
Both of my parents have cried on me about how terrible they are for "causing" this or not being able to "fix" it. My mother spends time trying to figure out what she did wrong while she was pregnant. It's a HUGE source of frustration for me that we can't have an open dialogue. It's way too painful for them to hear me talk about this stuff, but I need to think it out, you know?
I am not holding my breath that things will improve, but I am still hoping. Just… trying to keep a balance.

If the arm thing is a dystonic reaction to Savella, I should be fine in about 3 days.
I am not staying in that job. I am not staying in that job. I am not staying in that job.
Now all I have to do is keep saying it so that I don't break down and un-file my paperwork.
