Recently started working full time (I had been a stay at home mom, and was honestly struggling with fatigue daily then) and I am really having a hard time with exhaustion. How do you guys function with AS and work??
Initially, I thought the structure and fast paced environment was beneficial - that the fatigue was because I had too much free time. However, about 3 months in with the job and weekends are for sleep. I can hardly keep up with house work, laundry, kids sports, family…and work. My boss is aware of my condition. I usually get through the day ok, it’s when I get home that I’m having such a tough time. My entire body is exhausted.
My AS is mostly controlled, minus some episodic flares with random joints that typically only last a few days and subside. The stress of the job is mentally so taxing. I feel like I’m failing everywhere at the moment.
