Throwaway as don't want this on my main.

I've been teaching 5-10 years, done lots of different things. Primary, specialist, relief etc. Currently working at an alt school (Montessori, Steiner etc) and really love so much about it. Problem is I have a degenerative condition that is beginning to truly impact on my teaching ability. It leaves me fatigued and over time I am feeling more often than it's just really hard to be a teacher and balance the condition. Once it passes a certain point for me, I do not feel that safely I will be able to continue as a teacher, although we aren't there just yet. So I'm considering what comes next. Problem is I really love teaching for lots of reasons. I have a busy brain and I enjoy the many challenges of the teaching environment. I also am happy with my wage, in near to the top of the scale and it's a good salary and I'm reluctant to take too much of a cut. I'm happy to go back to uni to study for up to 2 years, so probably a masters of something. But just so unsure what might be available or enjoyable! Anyone have any good ideas?
