May people with sma syndrome work. I work in hospitality. But it all depends on you and how your symptoms affect you. Dont push your body your health always comes first

I worked a long time with this condition but eventually it became too much to work as the severity of my symptoms increased.

If you find a job that is flexible and understanding, it may be possible to maintain employment. It really depends on the extent of your symptoms and the amount of flexibility provided by the company/boss to take frequent breaks and/or absences.

I was told to file disability. You will have debilitating episodes. Kind of work with your boss and only sitting jobs wish as CSR.

I tried for as long as I could, and was lucky that I did inspections and did not have to be visible and around people except for short times. I would vomit and sleep in a ball in the backseat between scheduled in
inspections. But it became to hard to continue putting on a show. It begin to show as the chronic fatigue was extreme, and becoming very noticeable.

People with Superior Mesenteric Artery syndrome can work in any filed they choose. Yes, it may be harder since you have an illness, but it is possible.

Yes they can do anything they feel they are able to do, but it can be difficult with the fatigue that comes with mal-nutrition and the sickness.

May still work unless symptoms become worsened

Depends on the severity of the symptoms. Can work physical or non-physical work. You may also not be able to work at all.
