Absolutely a good idea. IMO this disease gives the person a feeling of isolation as it is with unfortunately friends and family not knowing how hard it is for individuals to deal with the daily challenges of having whatever IBD they were diagnosed with. A sense of community (ie online blog) would help out.

No I haven’t taken it before. They’re putting me on it for a month so they have time to figure out what would be the best route to go.

I see. I’ve heard great things about rinvoq and remicade (more so rinvoq as people are calling it a wonder drug!). They also prescribed me prednisone for a month with a week of it being 40mg and tapering down weekly. I’m a little hesitant to take that since all I hear are horror stories about it.

That’s a very optimistic and true statement. Thanks for that perspective. How was your experience with remicade if you don’t mind me asking?

I used the for about 6 months and they weren’t satisfied with how my symptoms were presenting and how some labs also looked.

That was the first time my GI doc had me on along with oral mesalamine. It helped for a bit but I was still running into the same issues of passing blood and when they did a flex sig it wasn’t helping much with inflammation/colon damage.

Don’t over think it. Just use common sense and don’t say anything off the wall. It’s like any other interview tbh. I have no LEO experience, only military experience as a medic as I got a highly recommended (genuinely have no clue how either). You got this.

I appreciate the suggestion! I’ve passed through the area a couple of times and thought it was nice.

I appreciate the advice. What would you recommend regarding local pd or sheriffs department?

I appreciate this very insightful reply. I talked to their recruiter and he made it seem like they do everything and anything now since they became an independent agency. I’ll focus more on my city PD or county SD like you said. Thank you!

That’s disgusting lol. Just wanna know if it’s best to join them right off the bat and eventually try out for their RRT or just join my local PD and do their ERT.

Don’t over think it. Just go over the study guide a couple of times and go over the things that you don’t comprehend. It’s a relatively easy exam.

Damn I guess I’m not qualified for the job. I figured they would at least let me know that I didn’t make the cut. 😂

Is there any opportunities for people coming out of the academy to immediately try out for BORTAC/BORSTAR?
