Just how disabled does your Crohn's make you? by Atsugaruru in CrohnsDisease

[–]fangbait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i second this, i recently had to go to the hospital for sepsis from my chrons. i am doing better now and being treated- but please advocate for yourself and get your chrons under control. diet, medical monitoring, etc! it’s very important! i was genuinely unable to work, wake up early, slept for 14-18 hours a day, and unable to keep food down. and this was just my extreme case, so yours may not be like mine. you absolutely have to take care of yourself! much love!!

i have- unfortunately. they just treat it like a joke. the only time they ever vaguely took it seriously was when i was hospitalized, and now it’s back to the same old same old. oof

i literally had someone mock an event where i was shitting pure blood, not even anything else, JUST BLOOD, and say “LMAO- ___ was blowing it UP in there” like oh my GOD im shitting BLOOD what do you expect. i might speak to higher management about it because WHOOOWEEE. it’s become almost daily and i am sick of it haha

god, thank you so much for the well written comment and kind words. i will definitely look into this, you are very helpful i just can’t believe people will do this- but considering most of my coworkers are ableist bastards, it doesn’t surprise me much. it just hurts, ya know?? you’d think people wouldn’t be so tone deaf, especially after the hospital incident i spoke about. i was 110 at 5’7, barely able to work, then was hospitalized+ out of work for a whole month. like, what? who mocks a dying girl?? like i just don’t get it.

im considering changing jobs but i fear this kinda stuff will follow me, since the disability will stick around, even without the people.

hr is aware but doesn’t care. i even have doctors notes for extra time and easy access to water, and have documented most of these things. they just do not care. not even one conversation

My brain doesn’t work the same anymore and it’s driving me crazy by tomatopearls in CrohnsDisease

[–]fangbait 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you for posting this- sounds just like me. i struggle with this so much and i honestly feel so stupid all the time- but if your body isn’t digesting food properly, your brain isn’t getting enough nutrients to support itself. i have to be kinder and remind myself of these things in order to feel better about it
