I teach in a college. I have been able to keep working, but I do have some issues.

The biggest one is that my voice gives out. I have learned to pace myself at work. I give the students frequent breaks. I also have started sitting on a stool to lecture rather than standing. I have not shared why I have issues with my students and they do not question me. It is possible that they already know because it is a small school and my dean and colleagues know. Rumors fly.

Either way, I just keep on keeping on. If I quit, my financial situation will be dismal and I have people counting on my income.

I was diagnosed 2 years ago, and I am still hanging in there.
