What would you do?

I suffer with nausea very frequently, but use my Zofran or Phenergan to stop it. Do you have any meds like that? The Zofran you could take at work and it wouldn't make you drowsy like the Phenergan can. If not, I might hold off until you could ask your doc for some. Hope that helps.

Depends a little on what you do? If the work is not too strenous and would not set back your recovery, I would go. Often when I am feeling run down, not just form Crohn's but from any illness, going to work really helps me to feel better. Social interaction, the concern of my customers and co-workers, being forced to put on a positive face and just get my butt moving again has helped me feel WAY better.

I guess the key is to make sure that you are not too ill and that working would not set you back. Vomiting in the bathroom.....Who cares? I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for your quick replies! I do have a sit down job. Maybe I'll go to the pharmacy and see if they can recommend something, other than Gravol, to stop the nausea. Don't know why I didn't think of that : )

Thanks again!

I also think it depends on what you do. I work directly with people in my internship and I know that if I'm feeling sick or in pain then I can't really do what I need to. If you have a job that doesn't require you to move around a lot or where you don't have to deal with clients/customers then I say give it a go :) You may just want to tell your boss that you are there on a trial run and you may need to go home early. I hope you are feeling better soon! :D

I picked up some Gravol with Ginger, which isn't supposed to cause drowziness. I think if I take that and take a lot of breaks throughout the day so I'm not sitting down all sday... I should be ok. My employer is completely understanding, that doesn't worry me. It's just when I say I'm going to do something, like go back to work, I do it.

I've gone to work and have gotten sick. They know I have stomach problems. I use the bathroom often and I have thrown up before.
It's all about what you feel comfortable doing. I would call your doctor and ask them for something. If you feel that you can't make it through the day, you know your body best, stay home and rest one more day.
One trick that helps, having alcohol swabs handy. You put them near your nose and it wards off the nausea.
Hope you feel better!
