Hi I am new here and have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and am feeling very tired. I work full time over 5 days and am also doing a distance learning degree but struggling to keep on top of it all.

The sensible option according to a colleauge would be to take a year out however i have made a comittment and want to finish as i really dont think i would be able to return to study if i stop now.

does anyone know my options regarding reducing my hours at work? i dont think the disability act etc would apply as although i find it difficulf to walk/ manage stairs some days there are more days when i can and besides most of the time i just do it anyway.

any advice would be apreciated :)

    hi, not trying to put you off but there is a forum on here called Working Matters. You might get more responses if you posted there as well.
