Time for a new career?

I have not been officially diagnosed but I see a rheumatologist this week. I’m just worried about my future. I’m 29 years old and have worked in early childhood since I was 18. I have an associates degree in early childhood too. This past year I’ve been struggling more and more with my symptoms and I’m worried I won’t be able to continue working in early childhood. I know once I get on meds my symptoms should lesson but I’m worried about all the sickness I’m around too. I live in a small town so there’s not a lot of options for jobs. I guess I was just trying to see if anyone else was able to keep their very physical job after getting on meds? Should I just start looking for a new job?
