Some depending on the day. Nothing with computers or bright lights

I haven't been able to work full time. Just some light work in a less than stressful environment and not demanding work.

Yes, we can work, but it's easier if you are self employed because you are able to take breaks more often and rest the days that yo are not feeling so good. Prolonged fatigue causes us to work a bot slow most of the time.

Yes. I've been working since 2000. I work in a school so I don't work 'year round'. There have been some really bad years, hard to walk, pain.

Yes, some people can, depends on the severity or progress of the disease.

You can definitely work but it is limiting.. However it depends how far along your illness is. I am an executive assistant and find midway through the day my eyes get super dry and I need to put eyedrops.
