I haven’t worked! I own my own business and IM afraid they won’t hang on and get someone else! I hate this disease! I’m so depressed and I feel angry a lot!

Exercise when I can. Staying positive and keeping close family around me. This is a very hard disease but you can do it. I believe in you just keep your head up.

Well I'm doing both now at the moment. Now I will say that I'm fortunate in the way that I'm a manager so I can be flexible with my schedule. I'm also back in school to further my degree. I'm definitely taking it slow. 1-2classes per semester. I just keep going, if I have a really bad day, I just rest. I don't push it. It only makes it worse.

Working from home, and I imagine probably online schooling. That way I can just move my workspace to bed and keep everything on hand when Im having a bad day
