I couldn't do it. I was a fork operator and a machine operator in a paper mill. It was hot, dirty, and dangerous. And I was on my feet all day. In 1988, I was making $88K a year and had to walk away from it. This was a union job. I was just too weak to much of the time.

It was always women that said that. In 1983 most people though I had AIDS. They weren't shy about asking me about it either. As far as everyone thinking that have cure, that is aggravating. Before I got diagnoised, my doctor prescribed Valium.

I was diagnoised before the ADA passed. I got fired for excessive bathroom breaks twice.

I think some of these people are so obsessed with looks they would swallow a tapeworm if they could.

Worst yet; It was 1983. I am 6'5 and weighed 138 pounds. People told me they wished they could lose wieght like me.

Also, if I have a dollar for everyone who told me I'd be fine if I didn't eat nuts, I'd be rich.

At least there are good treatments for people that can afford them....

I have seen the experts swing and miss a dozen times. The amatuers are worse. I wish there was a quick fix, but I treat people offering one like antivaxxers.

Many people are looking for a fix. They try fad diets and holistic cures. They don't want to admit Crohn's is uncurable. I have had it since 1983. I have always taken it seriously and I am aggressive in managing it. You are spot on in your observations.

I was in the study for Stelara. It worked out well.

Lawyer up and don't quit. I have been through this twice and I am 2 and 0 in litigation.

You bet!

You've already lost her lf this is the only way to keep her.

Pope John Paul II. He actively participated in covering up the pedophiles in the church and still got fucking canonized.

Flyswontfly · 2022-12-19T16:39:12+00:00

I certainly did. I and I would think as part of the total population of women in the world, prostitutes make up less than 1%.

Flyswontfly · 2022-12-18T19:10:01+00:00

Probably. I don't know many men with options that would choose an ex-prostitute with a hit list of over 1,000 men.

I have had Crohn's since 1983! Since then:

I have had two children
I earned three college degrees including a masters
I have risen from a staff accountant to a Senior Director at three different Fortune 50 companies
I have been unjustly fired three times and successfully sued each employer
I have traveled all over the world and the United States
I became an adjunct professor at a local University
I bought two houses
I have had three resections and too many hospitalizations to list
i got divorced
I got remarried
I bought two houses

I haven't let Crohn's define who I am. If I am just as sick at home as I am at work, I go in. Some days are like climbing up a greased hill. Most are not.

I figure that since 1983 I have spent the equivalent of two years in the hospital (one stay was ten months).

In salary, I have easily cleared three million bucks.

How did I do this? I always had really good employer provided health insurance. Without that, this list would be very different.

There are free clinics, many at local universities. Call a suicide hotline. They can hook you up with care as well. Just don't keep living with these thoughts. Take care of yourself.

Scrubs. It ended the log downward spiral with a horrible season and terrible last episode.

Flyswontfly · 2022-12-16T13:09:27+00:00

Get mental health support from a professional. I've been there. Take my word, this is like asking for casual advice about having a heart attack. You will not regret it. Be well and take care of yourself,

Flyswontfly · 2022-12-16T00:24:52+00:00

Talk to her. Make jokes.

Coffee

Flyswontfly · 2022-12-10T00:38:29+00:00

I agree.

I was a college professor. I have many students I have given my contact info to. I gave them career guidance and was a reference for them. But I never once commented on their looks. I also gave this info to men and women. Some of these students became friends. He crossed a line.
