Carol, I too have fibro and at one point could only crawl as I was in so much pain. But I am now a full time student and also doing an online course, with 3 very active kids. I find that as long as I make sure I am not overdoing, then all is great (lots of good planning) While I am not sure how a full time job would be, I am definately going to work part-time and go from there. So yes I think you can work, but only you know how much and I would start slow. I decided, that while fibro can be debilitating, that I want to run my life and not let the fibro run it and this takes alot of work on my part, but I am much happier and am enjoying life and my kids once again!!!
