Tried to answer you several times but the site wouldn't let me. You need to use the word disability when talking to the school officials. The law says you must be provided an education and if you have a disability it must be considered and accomodated. Make sure you stress how upset you are at not being able to learn within the normal school structure and ask them to do whatever it takes to see to it that you can get an education. You are the student and the patient and need to be provided with proper care by both to ensure your best health and education. Don't let fatigue and despair win. You have had a terrible loss and a difficult diagnosis. Both are survivable. Learning to live with both will take a lot of adjustment and trial and error but life can be managed and enjoyed. There probably isn't anyone on this site that hasn't felt the despair of "cant" that narco. can drop on you until you learn how to manage it. It seems to be different for everyone but you can and will learn to live with it instead of fight with it. Let us know how you are doing. I care.
