Fibromyalgia Teachers

Anyone on here a primary school teacher? I've been off work since the start of December and was diagnosed end of Jan after many months of symptoms. I've been a teacher for 30 years and currently cover PPA lessons 3 days a week in a one form entry primary school so move from classroom to classroom and do my own planning for subjects I teach . Can any fellow fibro teachers share experiences please? Looking at reasonable adjustments on the fmauk website it just doesn't look possible in a school. Please could others share adjustments that have been made? Have they worked? For those that have stayed in teaching, how does it affect your symptoms? For those of you who have left the job, what do you do instead? Feel like I'm at the start of a huge change to my future and it's a bit scary.
