Is there any chance you could do the coursework at home, if needed?
Others have mentioned accommodations at the school as well.
Are there provisions in place should you experience a relapse of any type?

I wish I had a fix to offer.

As you know, many of these conditions tend to cycle. You are not always in a relapse, which is helpful, but not the case today.

My heart goes out to you!
We are here for you.
Thanks. I will have to attend my classes but I do have accomodations in place for extra time on exams, extra breaks in class, and extensions on assignments if needed. I’m just scared I will get sicker by adding the extra physical and mental load. I know you understand. You are right, this flare-up may pass soon and I could be worrying over nothing.
