    Hi @Paul79, welcome back to the community! 

    I think it comes down to whether you feel ready to go back to work, although it's very difficult to know sometimes until you try. If your conditions are still flaring quite a lot day to day, it might be better to wait until they're more stable, but you could always try working part time and go from there :)

    You would need to make sure your employers are supportive too, and let them know what reasonable adjustments you might need from the beginning.

    Would this mean a new job search for you or would you be returning to an existing job?
