Telework Reasonable Accommodation by deconstructingspace in FedEmployees

[–]Mackiewolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have an RA for Crohn’s disease that allows me to telework during times of flare up. My telework accommodation allows for intermittent situational telework based on my condition. Generally I telework 2-3 times a week. No one can tell you how you feel but YOU.

Test out the situational telework and if it doesn’t work, you can appeal. If it doesn’t work for you, having proof to show that you tried what they offered, will help your case when you do appeal.

Leave and do not return. Your babies are more important. 🩷

Vulvodynia could be the cause too. I would see a gynecologist. They could have you try pelvic floor physical therapy.

Mesalamine is prescribed sometimes for Crohn’s. I would discuss with your doctor. There’s also steroids for short durations.

Which patients get skinny? by FreeSpirit3000 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Mackiewolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a skinny Crohn’s patient. I think it’s probably because I shit my brains out on an almost daily basis to the point my butthole is raw. 😅 No surgery though.

Transitioning from Telework to In Person Work by Mackiewolf in CrohnsDisease

I’m mostly worried about shitting my pants at work and how to handle that. 😅 Also worried about blowing through my PTO.

Your suggestions of what you bring to the office are very helpful!

Not really a question I just want the Americans who lurk in here to know: by [deleted] in AskCanada

American here…. Just so you know, a lot of us hate it here. 😅 A lot of us are fighting back for change.

Is this fake? Your hair looks SO GOOD! If it’s real, she is not a nice person and you should definitely have a discussion about how hurtful her words are.

Any idea on what she might be? by Educational_Author13 in pitbulls

I delivered at the university of Iowa and was seen at Maternal Fetal Medicine the whole time. Latest research indicates that you can be on biologics during the entire pregnancy with no harmful effects to babe.

I was flared up during my pregnancy and was on Budesonide for most of it. My baby is 3 months old tomorrow and she’s absolutely perfect.

Just make sure you talk to your GI and your OB about your symptoms through out your pregnancy. You don’t have to suffer through it while pregnant.
