I’ve not had to reduce work yet but on bad days my boss has been very supportive about working from home so I don’t have the added stress of going in to the office which is a large campus.

I had to change the job. I still work in my profession, but the work is less stressful and less volume. I was a bit bored at the new job at first, but it turned out to be the best thing I did for my RA ridden body and mind.

I had to shift to working from home. Before I made that shift, my employer at the time would not provide any accommodations or modifications (which was incredibly disappointing), so I had to find a new employer that would. I see a therapist regularly and can’t tell you how often we talk about accepting limitations. It is so much easier said than done.

Fatigue can indeed lead to a reduction in work capacity. Here are some insights from my knowledge base:

- Impact on Work: Fatigue can be so debilitating that it prevents individuals from holding down a "normal" job, sometimes leading to disability. It can make daily tasks and maintaining a work schedule very challenging.

Fatigue can indeed lead to a reduction in work capacity. Here are some insights from my knowledge base:

- Impact on Work: Fatigue can be so debilitating that it prevents individuals from holding down a "normal" job, sometimes leading to disability. It can make daily tasks and maintaining a work schedule very challenging.

- Counseling: Seeking psychological counseling can be beneficial. Cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to reduce fatigue and improve sleep. Counseling can also help manage stress, mood swings, and communication with others.

- Acceptance and Adaptation: It's important to talk openly with your doctors about how fatigue is affecting your life. They can help you find strategies to manage it better. Additionally, discussing your condition with loved ones and seeking their support can make a significant difference.

If you're struggling with accepting your limited capacity, remember that seeking help and making adjustments can improve your quality of life.
