It is so tough. Can you take this one month to see if there are any jobs that suit your needs better. I suspect jobs are difficult to come by whilst we still have the virus with us. The PBC Foundation's web site has articles on fatigue and fatigue management. Other conditions can also impact on fatigue so worth getting yourself checked for thyroid and pernicious anaemia. On Sunday Prof.Jones gave a presentation on fatigue and he mentioned one more conditions that may also cause fatigue. I think you may be able to access them on the facebook page. Maybe even worth a chat with the foundation as they will have knowledge of employment rights and responsibilities.

Good luck
