Squeakers started a new group, "Balancing work and pain"! Sounds like a good group for all of us, even if we just work taking care of a home!

This is such a great idea, Squeakers! So thankful to you for starting it. So many people wonder how to balance both work and fibro pain. Heck, 2 weeks ago, I wondered it too, but now I'm retired (got my SSDI.)

So although I can't join you, I thank you for starting this up. I'm sure quite a few folks will appreciate your effort.

I am about to go back to school for the next 4 years (online) to get my masters and this is a Huge concern of mine. To go and spend that much money and time and then not be able to work because the pain is to much. How do you all do it?

I am a 47 yo nurse I cant do it. The pain, fatigue and memory and cognitive issues wont allow me too. Being a nurse you have to be on point at all times and it was too much of a liability for me, my patients, and for my employer.
