starting work and need advice
Since I got laid off last March I have been enjoying my time at home to take care of myself and my family. In the last few weeks I have been getting called for interviews, but no serious bites until now. I am about to start a new job in a few weeks. Once the paperwork in finished it's back to the 9 to 5. The pay checks will be nice, though I will miss my naps. I'm really nervous that I will not be able to handle this disease and a full time job. I was just diagnosed last January so this has not been an issue before. I have not told them that I am sick (and don't plan to). I have been receiving treatment for the last year but have had very little relief. The problem is if I eat, I'm in pain, period. If I have to be out during the day I just don't eat or drink anything. Nothing goes in and nothing comes out. I'm not sure I can really do this on an every day basis. I need some advice on how to get through the day without being sick.
My GI is wonderful and is doing everything he can to try an get ahead of it, but nothing seems to be working so far. Recently he ran an endoscopy and a small bowel follow through and is planning to do the pill cam. I think we are headed in the direction of Remicade and I have hopes that this will help. In the meantime I need to get through this.
