Not sure. I would agree with the other answers above...it depends on your symptoms. My Dr put me out of work 15 yrs ago but others work full-time jobs.

Thank you. I have had so many jobs really probably just something really part time or at home. I have a lot of fatigue and brain fog so...

Depends on you
As in what is right for me isn't necessarily right for you and vice versa.

I suppose it would depend on which symptoms (and parts of the body) are least effected. E.g. If your mind is sharp but your arms & legs tire easily, probably a desk job. Conversely, If brain fog is the worst symptom, probably something that requires minimal focus (assembly, mailing marketing materials, etc). I have a job where I work from home, but it requires focus and some days are very difficult. You know your body & mind best. Hope you find something that fits. Hugs
