Is anyone else in ill health & runs a business???

[vintageaffair]

I was wondering if anyone else is ill and continues to run their business? Just thought it might be interesting to hear from peeps, Ive been ill now for a few months but I have to keep working because this is what I love doing and it drives me nuts not keeping busy. Just wondered if anyone has any personal coping mechanisms to deal with running a business when ill???   Rx

Hi! I have fibromyalgia and so had to give up my desk job as just couldn't manage it any more. Working from home is perfect for me as I can do most of my work at times that suit me and my health. And if I need to from bed!

How do you cope?

I have rhuematoid Arthritus and Anklyosing Spondylitus. Everyday Im in constant pain and some days my mobility is really restricted when it flares up but I carry on and keep ontop of it and refuse to let it get me down.

I have OCD, more mental than physical ill health.  Have good days and bad days, pretty much like everyone else I suppose.  I had to give up paid 'employment' but working for myself allows me the perfect control and order I crave.  I have great support from family and have a few close friends that are aware of my 'funny ways'.  I try not to put too much pressure on myself and set smaller targets and goals.  I keep a very warped sense of humour which is invaluable.  There are always people in similar situations so don't be afraid to ask for help or support.  x
