When you have fibro, you sometimes have to get creative when it comes to paying your bills...
Don't get me wrong-- some people can have a job before diagnoses and manage to keep it. But most of us need to find ways to maintain our health and wallet by looking for ways to work from home.
This article is about three work from home options--- AND YES, they are definitely legit. I have done 2 out of the 3 listed for quite a few years now, and I agree with the magazine's take on the pros and cons.
My father always used to say, "Do what you love, the money will come." and he's right. Of course he also used to say, "You won't get rich working retail, but it pays the bills." I can't agree with him on the later-- retail only pays some of the bills, but it was a job for me BF (Before Fibro).
Sometimes we fibromites can feel useless because we have no energy to perform at a job, but we shouldn't! Especially when there are places out there where you can make some money and feel accomplished.
Stay fabulous,

I wish you the all the best and hope you are doing well. I am unable to work because of my fibromyalgia. I would be able to do 4 hour shifts only a couple of times a week, but no one will hire me for that. My Fiance pays all the bills, but I would like to feel I have some independance. I can't believe that I am only 32 and unable to work because of my illness.
Oh Tricia, I will keep you in my thoughts. This beast is so hard to deal with on so many different levels. I hope that one day you can find a job that isn't good for the bills or the employer, but good for you. Your fiancee sounds wonderful, bless his heart for being there for you!
