Oh...thank you so much :)

Hello everyone! I am a 17 year old girl, and for as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be a RN. I want to take care of people, and help them get better. It's the only job I can imagine myself working as and truly enjoying! However, I do have fibromyalgia...I was diagnosed when I was 13. I was wondering if there are any nurses here who have fibro or any other disability where they deal with fatigue and pain? I think I'd be able to handle a 12 hour shift every other day(M-W-F), because generally if I push myself too hard my body needs about 1 or 2 days to recover...are RN's allowed to set their own schedules? Or should I just chuck the idea of being a nurse? Any tips are helpful...thank you! Edit: I just want to say that there most likely will be times where I'll have to work holidays, weekends, night shifts, etc...which I don't really mind. It comes with the territory. I just wonder how I'd be able to physically handle it, and be at my best to take care of patients....
