What Sort Of Employment Or Self-employment Can People With Fibromyalgia Or Other Chronic Pain Sufferers Do?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a job already, but I want to go beyond the dang social security pitch, maybe even full-time, and/or at home where I don't have to walk fast to keep up with the Joneses. I've tried websites, selling stuff MLM, publishing a book, writing a children's book that needs an illustrator, and getting another degree--gosh, a hard way to find out how online schools do ya.

I just came across your post about this. I have wondered this same thing for years. I have looked at ads for things like selling on Amazon, Audible…other things I can’t even remember. Being given a life sentence to constant pain wasn’t enough I guess and we have to live below poverty level too. I would love to find something that I COULD do on my own time from home when I have my pain under control (which is all over the place). Plus my terrible memory problems and slow brain.🥴

Will you let me know if you do come across something. So many seem to make big promises but when you read reviews,..ppl have been burned. Sadly.
