Work

[Guest guest]

Hi :

it is very individual. Some people have negligale side effects, some are having severe flu like symptoms, causing them to lay off of work for a few days. If you can afford to, you might want to consider taking a week off when you first start. For myself, I could'nt afford to, so I never missed any work. But I am one of the fortunate one's, my side effects were not as severe. The only problem I had was I became anemic (low red blood cells)., but we solved that by adjusting the # of capsules I take daily.

It's no fun, but considering the outcome, it will be worth.

There will be almost monthly lab work to go with your treatment, meaning they will be on top of any problems that might come up.

I worried as much as you do and discovered that for my case, most of it was unfounded. That does'nt mean that some folks don't have an awful time--some do...it is very individual.

Good luck,

Hi, james. My husband is a rigger which is very strenous work and your

concentration is imparative to the job. he has missed two days, the first so a

nurse could assist with the first shot, and the second time, two weeks later,

because he just did not feel well.

I know a UPS driver. it is tough work, but there are manyjobs tougher. You will

probably not need to take time off, but really that depends on your side

effects, and some folks get very mild ones at that. take your shot Friday after

work andyou will have the weekend to regroup. it sort of puts a damper on any

social life, but if it works, it's well worth every minute of it.

Jeanne,

I went back to work 2 weeks after my myotomy but I work out of my home

and I had a lot of help. I wasn't supposed to lift anything over 15 lbs.

for 6 weeks because of the risk of developing a hernia.

I wonder how many of you work, and how long post myotomy, were you

out of work?

[Guest guest]

I work and I was off for two weeks after my Myotomy and too be honest I felt

I needed the full two weeks as I do a lot of heavy lifting(I'm an A,D,R

Driver transporting dangerous goods throughout the UK)

I hope this helps your query.

All the best

and I have my parents living with us. They both have had strokes

and have dementia. So I sort of work. Mom needs a lot of care and she

was at a nursing home for two weeks but we brought her home yesterday (2

weeks post op)and it is OK. My surgeon estimated two weeks and that was

about right. I have a Hoyer lift to move her but still there is a lot of

boosting and pulling and pushing to roll her over in bed and lifting her

legs (legs are heavy!) to get the sling for the lift under her. So while

the pace of our days is relaxed, there is some strenuous work and I am

doing ok with it.

By the way, Mom has had multiple sclerosis for 45 years, so I was

interested in the auto-immune disease discussion.

Hi Kathy;

Give yourself a lot more credit! You say you "sort of work" I would definitely call that a full time occupation. It's a huge responsibility. (My Mom has Parkinson's)

, I just wanted to wish you all the best with your myotomy in May and Wedding in June. Congratulations! All the best, .

[Guest guest]

.....Y'know they're getting at least 56K for you to be wherever (Saudi,

blah!!!) for 28K? Thats how it works usually. Paramedics are like another " P "

word

in some cases it would seem....CA

[Guest guest]

The Saudi jobs never pay well (I am not referring to KBR and such like,

rather to the hospital or airport based jobs, which is what Helen

Zielger does.)

These jobs are basically for two types of people- those who are totally

desperate for a paycheck because they have creditors beating on the

door, or else street medics who have never worked internationally and

are trying to break into the international work.

For those people, especially the latter, it's not TOO bad. Your average

ambulance medic in the states probably makes about $25,000 gross (YMMV-

I base this on the salary brochure from AMR in West Texas and N. Mexico)

, so when you figure in savings on living expenses and no taxes, it

comes out better than most medic jobs. Unfortunatly, it's bachelor

status.

The thing that is being sought is " previous international experience " .

Preferably in whatever area they specialise in. Companies don't like to

hire people for offshore jobs who've never worked offshore. I have a

line at the top of my CV " Accustomed to the offshore environment " . That

carries weight with companies who are tired of guys dropping out because

they can't hack 5 weeks on a drilling rig.

I asked an employer recently why they chose me for a job in Africa. The

answer was " You fit the profile. " I found that to be revealing, as the

profile was basically someone who 1)Had an offshore survival ticket

2)Had a yellow fever certificate 3)Had worked offshore 4)Had worked

offshore africa. In that order. Things like medical certificates, etc

are very low in priority. Employers usually only care that you are an

ACLS/CPR instructor, PHTLS certified, expert brain surgeon, etc if that

is what the contract with the client specifies. Otherwise it's nice,

but carries little weight. The possible exception to this is the US

employers, some of whom require National Registry certification.

Cheap (relatively) things to make you more marketable:

Get all your travel immunizations (Takes several weeks, and when someone

calls, they want you NOW). ($)

Get your offshore survival certificate (preferaly one that meets OPITO

standards for the North Sea). For Americans its cheaper to take the

classes in Louisiana or Texas, especially during the summer, but winter

airfares to the UK are so low, why not take a course at Petans or RGIT

and have a nice vacation out of it (hey, its a tax write-off!)? Won't

take more than 3-5 days, although the courses are pretty expensive in

the UK, but I think the training is better. ($$$)

Get a 48 page business passport or else make sure your passport is not

going to expire in the next year and has plenty of empty pages. ($)

Have current ACLS certification. ($)

Expensive things to make you more marketable:

UK HSE Offshore medic course ($$$$$)

International volunteer work ($$$$)

HLO course($$$)

Safety certification (NEBOSH, CSP etc) ($$$$)

GMDSS radio operator certificate.($$$)

RN license ($$$$$)

Occupational Health training ($$$)

Bottom line: I think the experienced western paramedics are going to

have a hard time finding work at above $50-60,000/year. UK medics might

make more but thats largely due to exchange rate and is balanced by the

outrageous taxes and cost of living in the UK. This presumes an equal

time schedule of 6 months working 6/off. Working for KBR or similar you

might make $80,000-$100,000 a year, but their contracts are for working

11 months out of the year. In terms of day rates, I think they are

likely to go down rather than up. You can get a highly qualified S.

African medic to work for $150/day. The most I've ever made was

$275/day and that was because I was doing safety. Although you hear

about jobs that pay $300-400 a day, they are getting few and far

between. A major oil company or contractor might hire you because they

like your work for that kind of money, but the major international

employers aren't. They have piles of resumes, and they know that there

is someone in there who can do the job if you don't like the pay.

Gosh, I have alway considered myself to have better than standard

qualifications than your average medic and I have been applying for many

position, but slightly insulted with the pay that is being offered.

I just got off the phone with Helen Ziegler & Associates and they only

are paying 28,000.00 for their medics. Shoot that is close to what I

make now with the 10,000.00 (tax free equation).

Is there anyone with experience or advise about searching areas or

application, resume...etc.

I have a good resume and great background, just not sure that I know

what is being sought from thses people.

Anyone want to help me out here.

Tami --

I was diagnosed at about the same time I accepted the first full time job I had

had in years. It was strictly coincidental and I had to learn about PA and a

new job all at the same time. They didn't ask about physical limitations

(except one question about whether I had any physical limitations that would

keep me from doing the job which I answered no....I had no real idea what this

disease was at the time) until after I was hired and only then to make it clear

that if I needed any special equipment, ie. lumbar chair, phone equipment, etc.

that I should let them know. I started taking MTX the second week of my new job

and the accompanying brain fog made learning a completely foreign computer

system very difficult. My employer has been very accommodating and

understanding but it is a government entity and they have to be but I also feel

that it is genuine. However, I have never taken a sick day because of PA, that

is just my work ethic. I am more used to being the " employer " so I understand

what a hardship it is on coworkers when someone doesn't hold up their end of the

load. I am not a saint though.....there have been plenty of days when I truly

didn't think I could make it but once I am out the door I just carry on. I have

found a lot of little tricks that make the day a little easier, ie. the best

shoes I can find no matter the cost, an electric stapler, personal fan when I am

too warm, etc. and I use them all when necessary. If your new job requires you

to stand all day, lift and move lots of heavy stuff or bend and twist a lot you

may have difficulty doing it. Anyway, I wish you really good luck if it is a

job you want.

Cheri

[Editor's Note: Tami, Cheri's points are extremely well-taken. Let me add just a

bit from my own experiences.

I've worked full-time for 30+ years, with PA (I probably rate an " 8 " , today, on

a 1 to 10 scale of severity of PA; I have psoriatic, HLAB27-positive ankylosing

spondilitis as well). During that time (generally speaking), the

severity/limitation of the PA has ranged from probably a " 3 " (to the

aforementioned " 8 " , today). Only you know how limited you really are (and few

people know exactly how limiting their next flare will be--or, when it will

occur).

Early on (I was hit w/ PA @ 17), I was a student, and that was easy enough, but

I had an athletic scholarship (swimming), a sport I had to give up.

(Fortunately, I was able to continue school, on an academic scholarship.)

My first job out of school was as a Ft. Lauderdale cop (the first PA attack went

into a 99% remission--for several years). There was no way I could have done

that job with active PA. I was back in Grad School when the PA returned with a

vengeance.

After Grad School, most of the positions I've held have been primarily " sitting "

positions, with " where, when and for how long " to stand determined by me (this

can be a critical issue, obviously). These positions have probably been as close

to ideal (for a PA person) as possible.

There was one period, of two years, in which I was 80%-90% standing/walking from

place to place. And, wouldn't you know it, Zap! Along came a flare.

I did what Cheri notes above--find/use " little tricks " here and there, to

survive: the best/most comfortable shoes; periodically going to the men's room

and resting--i.e., sitting on that very hard (I have PA in the S>I> joints)

toilet lid--for 10 minutes or so, a couple times in the morning, and maybe three

times in the afternoon. Unfortunately, my rheumatologist at the time (I fired

him, finally; should've done it sooner) believed in aspirin for pain--3 every 3

hours. All that did was give me tinnitus (ringing in the ears). I lokk on that

period as the Dark Years.

Tami, I would suggest that it might be best to talk the issue over with your

rheumatologist, and a specialist in physical medicine as well, to see if there

are some " fits " between your academic/experential qualifications and your

present and foreseen limitations. That, and find and use as many of those

" tricks " Cheri mentioned as possible...

This subject deserves expanded discussion by those who deal/dealt with " survival

in the world of work " .

[ ] work

Was wondering the opinion of folks here on this. I am applying for a new job.

Was just recently diagnosed with PA. I don't think I have to take a physical

(except to pee in a jar for a drug test) but was wondering if others have had

their PA affect them in any manner in relation to changing or getting new jobs.

I don't think its something that will come up but its certainly in the back of

my mind.

thanks

Funny you should mention it, because I was just interviewed for a job the

other day -- I am working full-time for another company, but the company is

in financial trouble so I'm looking around for other work. Anyway, I didn't

wear my finger, wrist or ankle splints/supports that I normally wear, but I

know that if I'm hired I will probably have to tell them in as nonchalant a

way as possible that I have PA. I think I should do it before any

employment contract is signed, if it goes that far; but I just don't

know... I'm worried about PA affecting my ability to get work, but worried

also about the ethics of hiding something from a potential employer and

then ending up on disability or something.

That is a tough ethical dilemna I dont know how a person can be sure which

way to go. Ive had the same confusion regarding personal relationships as well.

Ive tried being up front and Ive tried letting it go until someone asks and

still dont have a guess on which way works out better. At The National

Psoriasis Foundation's website, <A

HREF= " http://www.psoriasis.org/resources/advocacy/ " >http://www.psoriasis.org/res\

ources/advocacy/</A> they

have " coming soon " info regarding Americans With Disabilities act that

hopefully will help to know where you stand on these issues. Hopefully they

will get

it pretty quick. I sent them an email inquiring about a ballpark date when

that info will be included and will let you all know when I get a response.

[Guest guest]

, first thank you for the kind and supportive words about the brain fog. I

was crying from the relief of knowing, once again thanks to this site, that I am

not alone and I am not crazy. People always thought I was the smart one too and

it is the most emotionally wrenching part of this disease. I can learn to live

with a limp, find new ways to use my hands so they don't hurt so much and even

bear to watch my physical fitness deteriorate but I value my brain above all

else.

Anyway, regarding tell or don't tell........I don't feel you should ever lie but

I don't think you have an obligation to tell as long as you honestly plan to be

a really good employee and take proper care of your disease and/or condition,

whatever it may be. I assume your general work expectations were explained and

you know whether you can do the job or not.

Good Luck with it. Cheri

[, I think Cheri's advice (above) is excellent. The fact you even ask the

question suggests you are the kind of employee most companies wish they had more

of. Don't limit yourself going in, worrying about what might happen.

The individual psychoneuroimmunology (PNI, for Psychology/Psychiatry; Neurology,

and Immunology) of our disease takes some funny bounces. (I studied PNI in grad

school for 3 years, back in the mid-70s, when it was just getting under way.

PNI is a fascinating, relatively new discipline stemming from modern advances in

each of the three components, through each of its three branches, which have now

become intertwined, in the process of melding into one science [but with

" parent " sciences to ask advice of). This is hardly the place to engage in a

lengthy explanation of PNI; I will submit a post, and invite comments, on the

subject sometime soon. LET ME JUST SAY: It bodes great promise for, among

others, those who suffer from auto-immune disorders like PA, RA, AS, SLE and the

whole alphabet soup of Rheumatology.

Advances in PNI could lead to the prediction of who will get PA and for how long

and how seriously, and to treatments to treat it directly

Chin up, ..........;-]

Yes, they were. It's not so much a concern about the ability to do the job

as it is a concern about having flexibility within my schedule so that I

can make physio and doctor's appointments and make up the time by working

late, or at home on the weekends, etc. I just would hate to be hired and

then have my once or twice weekly appointments become an issue for them --

or for me, since I want to be a productive employee.

But of course I do honestly plan to be a good employee, and I do plan to do

my best to carry out projects assigned to me, so I can see the wisdom in

your advice, too. If I'm going into the job knowing that I will give it

everything I can and will be able to do the projects I'm given even if I

have to work overtime or on weekends to do it, then I probably don't

actually owe them any kind of " heads up " about my condition beforehand.

Thanks, Cheri!

Right... I'm a worrier by nature, but you and Cheri make a good point, !

I would love to hear more about the PNI stuff... sounds very, very

interesting! Please do post more on it when you have time to explain it a bit.

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

I am also in Texas near Ft. Hood. I can no longer work full time and I have

been out on long term dsability now for about 3 yrs. This year I started

substitute teaching in our local school district. I can not handle any more

than two days at a time then I need one to two days off before I can finish

subbing the rest of the week.

The fatigue and stress gets me every week!! I have been cycling weeks of

colds and flu like symptoms. Some times I am in so much pain that I just stay

on the sofa and sleep.

I was on MTX at one time and had to eventually stop due to side effects. i

am currently on Plaquinil for the past four months and I don't think its

doing much of anything.

I would try to pace yourself. I know that is hard with 5th graders that you

spend the whole day with them. I sub at middle and high school levels.

That way if I get a particularly stressful class I know it will be over in 50

mins! LOL You may have to go to teaching a speciality area or subbing. I

would give it time and see how it goes. Winter break is around the corner so

we

will all get some rest.

I think the most annoying this is I get everything that goes by from the

kids. I am going to try airborne the next time..everyone around here

recommends

it.

Subject: Work

Hey Yall.

I was wondering how many of you out there cannot

work due to your auto-immune disease?

The reason that I am asking is because I just

graduated last May to be a teacher here in Sugar Land,

TX, and I am now a fifth grade teacher. The bad news

is that I started to get worse once the stress and/or

cold weather hit. Now, I'm starting to wonder if I

should just give this career up! Life just seems so

unfair sometimes.

Also, when I do have flare ups, the fatigue hits me.

Today, I'm feeling tired, and I think its b/c of the

MTRX.

Any of your thoughts, opinions, and insights are

welcome.

Prayerfully,

[Guest guest]

, I wouldn't give up on it yet. Your rheumy may be able eventually

to find the right combo of meds to give you relief. I was fortunate in

that I didn't get RA until I was in my sixties, when I was already

retired. It was rough going there for a while, but since I've been on

Enbrel, my RA is pretty well controlled. Of course I still know I have

it, and I have pain and stiffness from time to time, but I'm feeling

much better than I did before medication. Teaching is a difficult job;

I know because I was one for 34 years. It certainly can be stressful,

which can aggravate your RA. But I would advise you to hang in there

and see what happens. RA in itself can cause fatigue, so you will have

to pace yourself and maybe leave some things undone at home.

Good luck! Sue

Glad to knowyou are employed and working the hours and location that you want.

If you are hiring please feel free to post an opening on this site.

Yes you have had your hands full. I do hope your daughter is diagnosed soon

Hi Jeanetta,

All I can say is WORK WORK WORK ............UGH UGH UGH! I do find time to

read the newsgroup digests - even if it is not on the day it arrives. I try

to read the e-pharm alerts, etc and have all my CE's done for the next 1 and

1/2 years until renewal time! I like to read new info and learn, what can

I say!

I am still working part time for CVS. Was floating as a tech for a while.

I found that's great to do for awhile! You get to visit many stores and see

which ones you really like and which you want to avoid. Everyone always

needs help it seems. Unfortunately I got called ALL the time and ended up

working 40 hrs each week. I really only wanted 20-30, but I couldn't say no

when

then called for help, so off to work I'd go. Now I have a home store and work

an average of 20-30 hrs per week. Of course we were down 2 techs this week

- one in nursing school hospital classes and one off sick. Though I would

collapse last week.....whew! This week hasn't been great either - now another

tech is off sick but the 1st one returned. So basically the pharmacist and

1 tech for 8 hrs overlapping partially with another tech for 8 hrs to cover

the 14 hr day. It's a long day. Average scripts per week is 350-400. I like

hard work, but this is crazy! Thankfully I only work 16 hrs next week if

everyone is healthy and comes in!! Been also dealing with Mom with

Alzheimers an getting her moved here from FL and into a nursing home. Also my

25 yr

daughter has been off work for 10 months with some " rare disease " which they

are yet to diagnose. They have been looking at rare auto immune type

things, but now came up with something called familial Mediterranean fever.

The

weird thing is our family does not fit the profile for this disease! Trying to

get into Mayo clinic for more investigation and diagnosis hopefully.

Take care,

Lynn

PS - loved the Pharmacology Review Questions tutorial !

Hi Mate,

You could try Oilfield medics they are always looking for new starts pretty

good at placing new people. Although their rates can be on the low side. Also

use an outside tax dodge scheme but only really works if you never make the

180days offshore.

www.oilfieldmedics.com

Also worth a look is ex-med always looking for ex military types especially SF

types. Lots of work in Middle East

Rich,

Also try Frontier Medical who look kindly upon ex military folk and with your

FL French skills you may find yourself required...I think there is a group in

Malta who may also be interested in the French language skills you have.

Bon chance.
