Coping with Chronic Illness as a CNA

I work as a CNA but having lupus and osteoarthritis is making it so hard for me. And the fatigue is awful once I get home from work that’s it for me.I was wondering how others cope everyday.

      i love my compression socks,, i use them for pots but i know alot of nurses use them. and if your insurance pays you can have your doctors write you a prescription for them. they also help prevent varicose veins.

      Sorry, i have nothing. On the flip side, kudos to you for making it through your work day. Working from home in the computer industry is the only reason that ive been able to continue working this time. 30 years ago, my prior time, that was not an option. I couldnt even stay awake while at work. Disability was not obtainable due to my age. So 3 years with no pay.
