The program I want to do is a 13-month accelerated. But I need to be a whole lot healthier- ha ha ha. Right now I can't even keep a 15/hour a week job.
So glad you are going to school now. I do have my BS. and I am so freaking glad that I am not trying to get my degree with kids, and Crohn's and life in general. Do it while you are YOUNG!!! Especially when considering your health issues.
yay for you!!!!!!!!View Thread



I have still not made peace with the dx. I still feel like my life was stolen from me. I will be 31 next month. I can't keep up with my kids, my home, my friends, my job. It has been nearly a year since I have had a night out with the girls or a date with my husband. I have not been able to take my kids to the zoo or museum. I go from test to Dr appt, to test, to hospital, to Dr appt. I have no life anymore.
I am still very upset with all of this. The financial burden is overwhelming. I am now at 40K I can't pay with no end in sight. No idea how I will pay for surgery or a surgeon. But if I can't get that done, I can't get better.
I feel like this disease has ruined my my life.View Thread

So hoping I can go home this afternoon. Maybe I can arrange some help with cleaning and getting caught up tomorrow or Friday.
My kids are REALLY missing me this time. I think they did better last time.

Feel free to vent here. I am SO THANKFUL for everyone here. Most days I don't know what I would do without my fellow IBD sufferers.

So, back to resting and waiting for meds to kick ANOTHER Nasty flare. That make 2 hospital stays in less than 30 days.

Waiting for my husband to come and get me and for his cousin to come and watch the kids. Planning to be admitted.

I come from a family where you work hard and take care of yourself. My grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, all feel that way.
I called to refill my Humira, and my GI never put refills on the script! WTH?? I am out of Pentasa and can't afford to fill it. I got lectured about "non-compliance" at my last appt on my meds, but how the hell am I supposed to follow through when I can't afford them, or the Dr office looses the assistance paperwork or doesn't give me refills????
Give me a freaking break here!!!! I didn't ask for this. I didn't make it up. I didn't look for this. I never wanted this and I still don't want it.
I just want to hide under a rock.View Thread
