Hi,
recently I've been diagnosed with crohns, I collapsed at work with rigors and a high temp.
Think I might have scared a few colleagues despite them being experienced health care professionals !
After several diagnostic procedures , crohns was the diagnosis.
High dosage of prednisolone following antibiotics was the initial course of treatment.
I've finished the steroids and now on 100 mgs of azathioprine daily
I've previously had uveitis , occular shingles, bilateral knee dysplasia , sciatica and restless legs syndrome
Apart from that I'm as fit as a butchers dog !
I've had to have a sickness interview for being off work since being admitted to hospital end of July and now have an appointment with occupational health
Is there any fellow crohns sufferers who are healthcare professionals taking azathioprine , whilst at work, how do you cope and how does it affect your ability to do your work at all ?
Also, how have your employers been ?
Thanks in advance, Steve
