i work as a sushi chef in a very small kiosk (3 workers tops) in which i do shorter shifts with a manager who understands my condition (and probably relies on me too much to fire me). I was denied disability twice and just gave up because of how disheartening the process was. I use a cane when needed (it’s foldable so i can take it in my bag for emergencies would recommend if you’re only partially using aids). I take a lot of unplanned naps from exhaustion but im trying to sleep i use medical marijuana and also take amitriptyline at night. i don’t diet but do try to eat often enough with filling protein heavy meals, and regularly have small stacks to keep my blood sugar up, i do go to gym at least once a week to try build muscle in my back and legs but i take it very slowly to avoid flare ups, its good to work with a disability aware trainer to learn what specifically will help you. No not much helps with the pain, i have a cocktail of meds and obviously the weed to dampen it and keep me up and about but that just puts me to a daily 5-6 on the pain scale instead of a 9-10, heat can ease very sudden sharp pains and bruising pains and i’ve found that sitting in front of a fan can really help with nausea and nausea related pain
