Does all my energy have to be given over to work?  I like my job and I earn in the top levels of my field for somebody who is not a manager yet, but I am not sure the trade-offs are worth my salary.  

I could work part-time for half the pay, but that's just it-- it's half the pay.  That would be a huge adjustment to chop my salary in half just to have some more energy at home.  

Plus, I want to apply for doctoral studies this year.  Switching over to being a professor is one of my future dreams and if I don't pursue it I feel I will be giving in to my fears.  

I'm new to this fibromyalgia diagnosis.  I'll just have to see how it goes over the next year.  I think I just have to proceed with my plans until my body gives out.  I won't get what I want any other way without trying.
