I got accepted in pharmacy & I'm recently dealing with most likely fibro. Right now I have difficulty picturing myself at school.

Dont give up before you even start. Start now with your awake time, extend it longer and longer hopefully this will help. Anxiety is a killer, always be hopeful and smile, you will be suprised how much it will help you feel. Even those without fibro fog experience the feeling sometimes. Give yourself the chance to succeed and if you enjoy what your doing you will find the way to succeed. Good luck.

I work as a nurse. Granted it was only 4-5 years of school, i was still working full time and studying full time. Now I work 32 hours a week, typically 8-12 hour days. I'm exhausted but it's doable for me. I just need more recovery time than others do. If it's what you really want, you'll find a way.
