Hello everyone,
How are you today? Have you seen this older discussion?
How has lupus impacted your working life? Have you had to adapt the way you work around it? Are your employers and coworkers understanding? Or have you had to stop working because of it?

@Courtney_J I'm having a terrible time right now. I'm constantly tired and I have a really hard time concentrating and getting things done. I don't know if this is the lupus or not because I haven't been diagnosed very long but I also feel like the lights at the office are too strong and give me migraines.

Hi
So at first I didn't say anything at work about my lupus, I don't like mixing work and my personal life. But then because of my lupus I developed TTP (at first I thought it was Covid) then I got spots. Long journey in and out of hospitals, so I eventually had to tell my work. Luckily I can do work from home, so that helps when I'm too fatigued.

Life after a joint replacement: Share your experiences and advice!

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!

Lupus may cause episodes of extreme tiredness, as well as many other symptoms that make it difficult to keep the ususal habits, icluding those related to work.
How do you cope with this issue? Did you have to change your work schedule or even change jobs?
Does your superiour know about your diagnosis?
