Well, Graeme @dustymi11er , funny you should ask! I’m retired now, thank heavens. I couldn’t have worked when i first go sick—it took me 3 months just to be normal. I was hit pretty hard with clippers and had to go to rehab for a month. Everyone is totally different.
The biggest problem with autoimmune diseases is fatigue—you have to learn to work with it.
This article explains fatigue and the theory that developed from it.

You sound determined to get your old self back. Are you working with physical or occupational therapy while you’re home off work?

Brilliant advise Becky I’m going to be working with both occupational therapy and physical. I’m really coming on at the moment and am managing now to get about with a stick rather then the frame. Work have been very supportive up to now and I feel I will be given months rather then weeks to get back if that’s a possibility.
Thanks for the link I’m going to read that now

Keep up the good fight

Regards

Graeme
