I work superhero time 
I have been back at work for a couple of weeks after having 5 weeks off work when I flared and was diagnosed. Am slowly grinding to a halt so may have to consider working less but can't afford it! X
According to the time choices on the poll I work full time but I class myself as part time as I do 30 hours (6hrs x 5days) This is enough as I am a single mum but sometimes it is too much....
Hi dale diva, I did the poll and legally if you are working over 21 hours a week you are full time, so it appears you are underestimating yourself xx
I am not working at the moment, well not paid work, looking after two young children, 3 if you include my partner lol. Plus the housework. I am desperate to get back into work, however I am struggling to find anything that doesn't include physical work like cleaning, i would have no problem doing this kind of work but just cant manage it, I struggle to do it at home! fingerscrossed something will come up. I admire you all who are working when living with lupus, it must be hard at times.
I am not working, had a wonderfull work Full Time, but with alot of stress, and If I stress I feël sick, I aplied for half day, but still could not Cope. My Dr. Advised me to stop work, my health Must come first. I went for a coarse for nail technition, It going slow but I am sure it will get beter.
I work full time 42 hours, but l have told them l need to cut my hours its to much for me, l am still waiting
been of work for last 5 weeks got a hospital appointment on monday morning witch could be life changeing and see me giving up work
Unable to work since diagnosed 2 years ago, will not be able to work again
Not currently working as I have had to give it up to look after my wife. She has MS.
Been signed off work since March. Now waiting for a desk assessment before I can return. Work part time but HR will let me do even less hours initially. Still don't think I can return as I can't manage to use a keyboard for long (sometimes even the iPad is a struggle). Seriously thinking of stopping work all together..
I am a teacher but dropped to supply to work one day a week as that put me in bed for the rest of the week (pressure and frenetic activity caring for 30 kids and little chance for loo breaks). It was difficult due to IBS and frequent UTIs. Plus constant bugs from children. I've stopped now though struggling without income
After 20 yrs of lupus mixed with D.M./P.M., chronic fractures (from steroids), and years care giving for my young husband with cancer until his death-- I finally got disability.
But off sick at the moment
Work 20 hrs for the NHS as a specialist nurse. Then self employed lecturer in the community for about 30++ hours - been on the sick for 5 weeks since diagnosis finding it very hard emotionally financially and letting people down - I know when I finally get back to work I have to slow down .. But very worried about fiancés ,
