Hi All,
Question for you all. How do you deal with Crohn's and having a job. I was diagnosed last year (while I was laid off of work). Well I found a new job this week but am not sure what to do. I started taking 6 MP but am thinking I might be developing pancreatitis due to the pain I am having. Next step according to the doctor would be Methotrexate which according to him is a shot in the arm. How can I justify to a boss that I need to take one morning off a week to go to my doctors office to get a needle in my arm. It wouldn't be so bad if my doctor was in town but I haven't found one here, so I keep mine which is an hour away. Any suggestions on what to do would be great. I don't want to give up this job since I finally found one after a year and a bit and it is something I love doing.
