Hi guys,start new job in 2weeks time which consists of working days/nights on a 4 on 4 off basis. Currently in remission but in the back of mind im a bit worried about the change in eating patterns/toliet times,at the mo i work days and have my clear out time in the morn before i go to work.

Why change job? i hear you ask,my wife has just gave up work as we are having our first child in 8 weeks & this new job is alot more money and more time off so it makes sense,just hope that my UC is as understanding.

Anyone have any probs or no probs at all?

Thanks,

Leyton

I try not to worry too much about what ifs because what if your UC stays at bay forever? You can't pass up a great opportunity that will allow you more financial and personal freedom because of UC. I hope you remain in remission for a very long time. Goodluck with the new job!

I actually just started a new job a couple of weeks ago, and I have been out of work two days already because of this on-going flare for a year now. Good luck to you, brother. I actually just made an appointment to talk with a surgeon. I am through with this. The HR girl that sits at the desk is right across from the Male's bathroom and I am pretty much good friends with her if you know what I mean. I wish you all the luck, man!
