There are quite a few places that offer medical benefits for part time employees. Starbucks being one of them.... I know this form research on IVF coverage, that they have even for part time employees. Also office work is not bad... Most of office work is not just sitting so you get to get up and move around. To be honest there are many days I just push through it. I am 34 years old I work 40+ hours a week. It is exhausting and every day when I get up I dread getting out of bed. Once I actually to work it is usually not so bad. Getting started for the day is truly the hardest part.
I get up drink coffee eat breakfast and take my very many vitamins and supplements. I get dressed and stuff and out the door I go. Half awake most days... But an hour or so after I get there I'm awake and making it through the day!

Hi there , I have gone through a similar situation, when I finally was diagnosed with fibromyalgia I ended up secluded in my home and couldn’t work. They have put me on disability, but, I sure miss my rapport with my customers. It is very hard to find peace and a lot of finding a new way to cope in this situation. I have come to realize that I can only do what I can do… I hate winter months cause it’s harder to cope and enjoy sunshine and the days are long. This group helps me through life with their insights. I pray 🙏 we can do this for you also. Have an awesome amazing self love day.

I have a very physically and mentally demanding job. Not to mention extremely stressful since I am a property manager of a small resort and campground so I cannot afford to let my fibro get me down. I have to stay on my medication even though I don't necessarily like it. It helps me get through my day and helps me function better. Also, I have found that having a job where I can move and exercise on a daily basis helps more than an office job just sitting in one place or standing in one place all the time. It is possible it's hard but it's possible with fibro. But if you find a medicine or medication combination that helps you stick with it because that might be your key to functioning better on a daily basis.
And make sure to take vitamins not just Dr prescribed medications

I work in assisted living. I work in the office most of the time. My hours vary between 7-4:30 or 6-2:30 sometimes I work late until 8pm. When I work the office I answer phones talk to families and Drs. I set up appointments and arrange transportation. When I work on the floor I give medications and provide care, getting them up dressed changed and ready for the day, assisting with daily activities.
I also use CBD oil, I vape and sometimes I use an oral kind, but I really dislike the oral kind I have now. .... If you are not getting any relief try a different method or brand.

I take my morning pills with breakfast and milk. I drink coffee every day. I try to drink lots of water and other fluids.

I have tried every kind of medication used for fibromyalgia and I got no relief!!! Not to mention how much they cost and made me feel crappy!
I have not gone to the Dr for fibromyalgia in a long time... Well over a year... Last time I went to the Dr was because I could not breath, bronchitis and ear infections.

@A MyFibroTeam Member this is really inspiring! thank you so much!!! it really gives me hope. I have been reading through hundreds of the old Q&As and it seems like no one works FT. what kind of work do you do? i am applying to office jobs but hopefully less stressful ones than my previous job... what kind of office job do you have? what types of vitamins and supplements and meds do you take? i want to fuel up! i've been trying CBD oil but it hasn't helped yet. Otherwise i take a daily multivitamin with biotin and vitamin D.
