Hi @stevenwrichards1
I am an advisor with Scope's Support to Work service, it sounds as if you could do with some assistance in finding something suitable that will not impact on your condition or increase your fatigue.
At Support to Work, we can help with this. You'll get practical support, advice and guidance on how to approach employers, disclosing a disability to an employer, preparing a winning CV and much more.
You can refer yourself or get more information here:

We look forward to receiving your referral soon!
