Sorry for the delayed response.

Yes - I got through grad school and did research work for a few years before I knew what was causing my symptoms. I was pretty miserable but economic survival is a strong incentive.

After learning that I could control my symptoms with avoidance I tried to work and live in environments where I was not sick all the time.

I was reasonably comfortable and productive in an off-campus university lab that was built to my specifications but was only there for 5 years. My productivity and comfort decreased significantly after I moved into an on-campus that was designed by university architects.

After leaving the university I did consulting work and small scale product development in my home or in spaces that were 'built out' to my specifications.

I am currently retired and am able to practice avoidance at a level that was not possible when I was working.
