Hello! Anyone else with multiple disabilities?

Hi everyone. I have multiple disabilities, and had to leave full time work because of my health. Ehlers Danlos syndrome type 3 (hypermobility), Fibromyalgia, Raynauds and Arthritis. I'm also asthmatic, autistic and a type 1 diabetic. Having so many health conditions becomes overwhelming sometimes.
For someone who is a qualified teacher, having fibro fog and cognitive impairment as a result of my health is INCREDIBLY frustrating and also feel like I wasted 4 years of my life training for a career that caused me a lot of stress that resulted in my health deteriorating to the point I could no longer work full time.
