I would contact the disability office at your college so that you could get extra time on assignments and tests (or reschedule them) if you have flare ups. I would also explain the situation to your professors. Most really care and would make accommodations even without the disability office’s recommendations. Of course take things slower and be kind to yourself. You will get thought this!
