Career advice for someone with ankylosing spondlyoarthritis

One of my biggest issues is finding a career my body can handle. I have ankylosing spondlyoarthritis so my fingers swell up and hurt bad sometimes I can’t even move them. So a desk job doesn’t seem fitting cuz of all the typing. Also I hate just staring at a screen all day. But a physical on my feet job hurts too and I get so tired so fast and come home and just lay down cuz of how my body hurts. Any suggestions???

It sound's really frustrating.. what about something over the phone like customer support or telemarketing?

Goodluck I have scleroderma spondylitis and T cell lymphoma and was denied. I’ve worked my entire life to now fight for my life and lose everything in the process. Yea I guess dying from cancer isn’t a permanent enough disability lol This county is a joke and we do not take care of our ppl. Not our deserving ppl anyway. We are used until used up then discarded. Again. Good luck I’ve now known 2 ppl who died waiting to be aproved for what they rightfully deserved in their time of need. I’ll most likely die waiting as well waiting on a system that has failed it’s ppl many times before me.
