Do you have any tips for like coping with fibro, especially during school whilst you are studying ?
Hey, in general i am just taking it easy, so for example if i am out for like a whole day on Tuesday, on Wednesday i will do minimum because i know that if i dont take it easy on the Wednesday the rest of the week will just be complicated/shit for me. FMS is a weird condition that i am still trying to figure out because the symptoms do vary massively from day to day and even hour to hour. I’m not really sure what to suggest other than just take care of yourself and try not to be hard on yourself cause its not your fault. 
In terms of university, it was difficult and got to the point where i couldn't type my essays out all the time and would have to like use the voice typer thing. Also during exam period i got massive flare ups (stress/anxiety induced), so i would say do your best to try and put as much effort in during the year to minimise your stress levels during high stress seasons (which i did not do). It is extremely tough to focus and actually do your work due to executive dysfunction and the cognitive issues that comes along with the condition and i would say that this is one of the worst things when you're trying to be productive cause its like you cannot see the words of the page ur reading at all or you see them but you're just like what the fuck are words. To solve this i just done short bursts of revision like  45 mins and then i would take a 15 min breather and so on (this very different to the way i traditionally work which is hours without taking breaks), which was relatively effective for me.  I’m verrrrrry anxious about the next academic year because i just don’t think ill be able to cope tbh cause it is hard BUT i will just have to push forward.
I am still trying to figure fibromyalgia out, i get pissed off about it on the regular and i guess cause im not used to it still but i guess we just have to embrace the unpredictability of our bodies. Hope you're okay and well <3
