Advice needed re Fibromyalgia

I've been study with the OU since 2008 and up until this year was doing really well. In march I failed a module for the first time due to trying to manage a full time job and the course whilst suffering from a variety of symptoms including extreme tiredness and widespread pain.

I found out yesterday that I have fibromyalgia and I'm just wondering how other sufferers cope with the condition. I have cut my hours at work but only by one less day a week. Unfortunately I can't afford to reduce my hours any more.

I would appreciate any advice anyone can offer in managing their studies together with work and this condition.

Thank you.

Jo
