I had to quit working altogether. It's an adjustment, especially financially, but you will find a way to make it work. Best wishes to you.

I am a teacher and this has to be my last year in the classroom. It's really hard, but I can't do it anymore. Our workday is 7:30-4 with a 25 minute lunch. Other than that one lunch break, it's non-stop. Clearly, I don't get out exactly at four and then the weekend is prepping for the week. There is no time to recover. I don't know what I am going to do either. I am scared. I just know...If I want any sense of being there for my husband and 9year old son, I have to make this change.

Im in the same situation. I've been in my career for 20 yrs & desperately need to reduce my hrs due to Fibro. I sit for 9 hrs a day at a computer & I get in major pain in my back/neck. I have not ask for less hrs because I can't afford a pay cut. It takes all I make, just to survive. I feel like most an employer that really values you, would let you take less hrs, though.

I was forced to quit a fabulous job.

I worked in printing for 30 yrs. They couldn't cut my hrs, so my Dr put me on state disability. While on it I filed for Social Security Disability. I got it. That was in 2009. But, you have to have more than just Fibromyalgia to qualify.
