If you have a very stressful job, if you can, try ways to reduce your stress at work. Ask your employer for an accommodation so that you can get some relief whenever you have a flare-up. Employers must give accommodations to individuals with disabilities. However, your need to ask your doctor identify your disabilities and tell your employer what accommodations you need. It is called a reasonable accommodation. For example, if you have a job that requires you to sit down all day, a reasonable accommodation would be that they provide you with an adjustable desk so that you can stand up to do the keyboarding. Or maybe you need an ergonomic chair or headphones so that you are not cradling the phone between your chin and shoulder. Maybe you need to take mini breaks to walk for a few minutes. That is called a reasonable accommodation. I am a retired equal employment opportunity and affirmative action officer, so if I can help you with questions that you have about reasonable accommodations, please let me know.
