I end up having a hard time going to work. The people around me dont understand the level of fatigue and malaise I experience. I'm not on disability, but I've been thinking about it lately.

Heya! Great question: my conditions are currently pretty debilitating. I am going down on corticosteroids and 3/7 days I can’t walk or eat. But I’m almost there, and with that my other conditions should calm down. The biggest bummer is that I have a really hard time making plans with people because I never know how I’m going to feel day of.

I'm so sorry you can't walk or eat 3 days a week. Do you work or are you in school? I struggle with attendance at work because some days I'm too tired to get out of bed.
