SOME can work if treated properly and very early. If undiagnosed it can progresss to the point of being disabled. My experience is chronic and the stress of working is such that I can not work much without a relapse of some kind. My opinion is the hope that a joyful, unstressful and a very, mildly physical job could be something someone with the chronic form could do at thier own pace. I'm sure people work in any field they happen to be in as long as they can but not without consequences.
