Hi,
I am 22 and currently go to school full time as well as work. I was recently diagnosed in march. I took a safe route, I have a sit down low stress job for a life insurance company. (paper work). I stopped going to college at night on campus because i was afraid i would have a flare and miss school. so i decided to do online classes. online classes are better but require alot of discipline. I start my program for cardiovascular in Jan, and i will have to go to school from 8-3, so i will have to adjust back to the campus life. but i wish you the best.
You can still pursue your dreams just take it one day at a time.
laughter is the medicine for your worries and pain, watch funny movies!

@purplepinkgrl Thanks! I wish I could do the sit down job thing, but a few months ago I started having pain from sitting. Sucks! Cant do anything comfortably anymore and cant stay woke long enough for it to even matter. Anyway, Good luck on your studies.
@bridget Hope you feel better
@ oluwa thats the point of these thing right? no apology necessary |

I currently work for an environmental policy institute full time. Thankfully, it's a wonderfully supportive environment, so I can work from home whenever I need/want regardless of the lupus. I've now worked out with our director that I will officially work from home on Fridays and it seems to be helping a bit.
I'm also starting my Master of Public Administration in January. I found a program that meets once a week near my job and not too far away from home. I am a bit nervous about it. |

I'm currently studying for ym BA in Economic History and Economics, was gonna aim for a high powered graduate scheme type course, but i dont think i'll manage, i struggle to get into Uni most weeks. For my health i think i'll stick with a part-time or job share when i graduate, cause i don't wanna get worse just because of pursuing something. I had a PT job in a call centre for a bank and the way the stress of that made me feel ill has put me off it for life lol.
Im not sure exactly what I'll do but im lucky that at 19 I do have a boyfriend who intends to stay with me in the long run, looks after me and supports my choices, so i've got that support
I fully intend to complete my degree as im just about coping, but after that who knows :S |
