Dealing with Chronic Pain in Grad School

Omg saaaaame! I’m in grad school and doing practicum and dealing with chronic pain on top of everything has been a lot! Always open to chat and commiserate lol. But definitely speak with professors about extensions and see if you have a disability services at your school that can verify your right to extensions and exceptions to certain things

Me too. I have to go up three flights of stairs to get to my first class, I have horrible joint problems and don’t have an elevator pass so I am in pain all day just from that. It has always helped to speak to the dean or principal or whatever and tell them. I really enjoyed online school because I don’t have to walk much.
