Hello Freinds,

Even though I do not psot regualrly I very much apprecaite the sharing and listening reading on here. It has taken away a lot of the loneliness for me in dealing with this illness. I'd really love a support group in my area on IBD. That would probably be unlikely so any support group with auto immune diseases would eb great. There are many similarities. Altough not everyone is takignt he same treatment path. i have found for me that a slower life is best.
I have had a few job interviews and even some job offers. Two offers were in unhealthy workplaces for me. I am currently waiting to ehar from another company. It isn't much but I will jsut be happy to be working. My self esteem has greatly been plowed down by this illness and the lack of support.
it's been a logn time since I worked. I was grateful to hear from a woman who's husband was out of work for 13 years due to illness. I will be happy to have something on my resume to sue to get an even better job if I need it.
i have heard it said that the ebst way to find a job is when you are already in a job. I do have fears of havign attacks while at work. I pray I can take bathroom breaks without fear of getting fired. My employers will not know about my illness.
Oh cool.. i jsut ran into a friend . I was so happy to see her. I pray we can see each other again and support each other.

Hi Fromthegut,

Where in Canada are you located? There are lots of Canadians on the forum, maybe you could form a support group or at least find a friend in your area. I know here in the US we have the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA), and I believe there's a similar organization in Canada (CCFC?). They may offer support groups. Good luck with your job hunt, I hope you find an understanding employer and a job that doesn't stress your gut.
