Venting

Guess why I'm going commando here at work right now?

Awwww, sorry to hear that.  I'm not in that bad of a flare right now, but I've been there.  Sorry things aren't going so well today.  Couldn't you request your office being near a restroom?  I know it's easier said than done, but it's worth a shot, especially when it's because of a medical issue.

I know how that goes. I work in a huge building at a university...they have one bathroom on my floor, who designs these buildings!? I've missed the "deadline" at least half a dozen times. At my worst I resorted to bringing extra underwear with me. <sigh>.

Diagnosed Fall of 2004

Meds:
6MP 1/2tab x 2 25mg ("re-challenging" 6mp)
Remicade 4 infusions
Prednisone 25mg (down to 5mg taper a week)
Citrucil 6-8 capsules a day

I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you. You should certainly talk to your HR department about moving your office nearer to a bathroom. You'd probably have to tell them why, but it would be worth it. You would probably be covered under the reasonable accommodation under ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).

BTW- why don't you take any UC meds? I take probiotics and fish oil but it just doesn't seem to work for me. It helps but I couldn't get into remission with them. How much do you take? How long did it take for you to reach remission?
