venting

I feel like most of the time i go on about my life as if i am not sick .... but in reality my joints hurt im sick at my stomach my stomach hurts and i just want to go to bed ....  well yesterday and today i put my foot down ... I dont feel good and im not goin to act like i do ...

well today i call in to work for the second day in a row ... i wasnt goin to i was trying to get ready but the more i did the more i didnt feel good ... so i called in ... i call in an hour and 40 mins before i had to be there ... but their policy is that you are to call in 2 hours before your shift starts ... because i didnt call in in time i am a no call no show today ... :( that really hurts me because i am not the type of person that is a no call no show ... makes me feel even worse about call in then i did in the first place ... and its not like i was just messing around and didnt want to call 2 hours before i was to be there .... i was tring to go but decided i was to sick ...

arrr .....   i'm just sick of it all ... either i am crohn's sick or pred sick .... this sucks !!!!

ok thanks for letting me vent and ramble !!!

Hugz Daisy, I have been there before too, absolute frustration. I've found venting to be therapeutic too!

UGGGHHH!!! I totally know how you feel! I am in the middle of a complete and total meltdown right now in terms of my career. I have been very open with my work about my health b/c a former boss at the company basically accused me of being overly "dramatic" with my health. So now I spell it out for them. Problem is that I was promoted several times over the past year and now holding a fairly high level position that it is totally out of my comfort zone. I really did not want to be in this role but they basically gave no option. Congratulations we are promoting you...not would you like to move into this role? I am starting to get sick b/c of all the constant stress. I am working 10-12 hour days, completely exhausted, and having work nightmares when I can actually fall asleep. I typically cry in the bathroom at work 3-4 times a week. Now my boss is giving me a hard time about dr. appointments (which for the past 6 months that I have been reporting to him were never an issue). Now all of the sudden he wants to know when I am going to the doc (so I suspect he thinks I am "faking" it...because who actually goes to the doctor so often????) I typically do my appts. either before work hours or around lunchtime but I guess that is not good enough. I am beginning to think that juggling a corporate america rat race job and multiple chronic illnesses is a bit more than I can handle. Hmmm if only I could quite the chronic illnesses....
