Dealing with Chronic Pain: My Struggle with RA & Fibromyalgia

My pain from RA & Fibromyalgia was so bad that I barely slept last night. Thankfully I was able to work remotely this morning, but I have to teach in the classroom this afternoon. I have an appointment in about 2 weeks to see if we can switch up my treatments. I’m just praying for the strength to make it that long. I may struggle, but I won’t give up or quit.

I used to be a teacher but my fibromyalgia and the pain I have all the time made me stop. Well done for not giving up ❤️

I have had to change from being a full time teacher to working as a SEL Coordinator and an after school program teacher for a nonprofit community center because of my pain and mobility issues from RA and Fibromyalgia. Being a full time classroom teacher is just too much for me. I’m really loving having more flexible work constraints and still being able to be in the classroom for a few hours a day.
