Oh man, sorry B-girl!! I noticed you were doing B-12 injections at some point in the past. Can you give them another try? Sure to help with the neutropenia..... In my case I halved my mesalamines and started B 12 which brought them from less than 1 to a solid 4 in a week's time.

And YES without a doubt having that much contact with kids while neutropenic would be completely hazardous to your health. Your M.D. did the correct thing.

hey zen, nah, i do terrible with b-12 shots. they give me really bad migraines. my b-12 levels are already above normal range so i dont wanna overdose on it. i do think my doctor is right, too. i just wish i didn't have to deal with this!!!

i'm sure something else will come along! i've been applying at a lot of places lately.

ncot, yeah, that was my feeling, too. that's why i wanted to wear the mask to begin with- so i wouldnt get sick and need to take time off. i guess that doesn't make my health assessment any better though!

I'm so sorry, bananagirl. Good news is coming, I'm sure of it! There will be another opportunity that will be even better for you!

Had you really wanted to get into education for kindergartners? Or was it just a job you happened to apply for?

ipoop, i applied because i have my school of education degree and the pay and hours were great. i love kids and they love me so i was really excited about it.

the neutropenia wasn't even on my mind when applying if i'm being totally honest! i applied before my monthly bloodwork, but got my results again after they hired me. when i was hired, the boss hadn't mentioned any health assessment. i just got the paperwork this past weekend. if i had known about it at the interview, i wouldn't have accepted the position without showing my doctor first.

Sorry banana, that sucks. Would have been nice for them to put "must pass health assessment" on the job listing or something so you didn't get your hopes up and waste time sad
Something good will come your way, you're due!
