DanyPatino I ask because I am a part time waitress, and even being on my feet for 5 hours makes me insanely exhausted and in so much pain. My boyfriend doesn't really understand how bad Fibro is, so without telling you all that up front, I wanted to get an unbiased opinion so he could see how others truly are affected by their Fibro.

@by A MyFibroTeam User Around 12 yrs ago I worked at the USPS on the computer and other things. I began to hurt in my back and in the neck area. I felt so bad that when I came into work people would look at me and say, you don't feel good do you? I stood it as long as I could and the doctor took me out of work. I filed for SS Disabilty and the USPS also. I was turned down by SS the first time and with no money to put in my part of the budget I stressed even more. There were some precious people in the USPS who gave me some of the Leave and that helped so much because you get paid when you are absent. I finally got an Attorney that worked with disable people and tried to get their money for them. The second year I was approved by USPS and after that SS approved me. It would be impossible for me to work now. I have Chronic Fatigue also. I barely get anything done and do not go out very often! Hugs

I'm only able to work 6-9 hours a week for now. And I am 23. Trying it bit by bit. It's very rough, especially working with children. I love it! But it's really hard being around a lot of noise as it intensifies sensitivies and pain.

I work part time and if Fibro is cranky or I am stressed I can't think or concentrate.
