Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Dear Tammy, I'm so glad the test was clear. Do take care though because, as the doc said, something just might be going on. However, I can imagine how pleased you feel. I do think pain is easier to bear if you know there's nothing too wrong. Keep in touch and do let us know how things go. With good wishes, Fliss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Tammy, I've been reading about your concerns about going back to work because you can't get long term disability without a diagnosis. First of all, it's great that you have such an understanding boss, one that doesn't want you to work until you're well. He sounds like a gem, and I'm sure you'll do everything you can to keep up a good relationship with him. He could play an important part in the whole scenario of your illness. Maybe you can talk to him about returning to work on a more abbrieviated schedule, or something that would allow you some flexibility in case you have days where you would need to leave work early or just not go at all because of your sickness. If you can show him that you're trying your best, it will reflect well on his understanding of your illness. Meanwhile, keep seeking answers for your symptoms. Sometimes people have had to go through months or more of tests and doctors and misdiagnosis' before they finally got the results they needed to get a confirmed diagnosis. I'll be really interested to see how your fecal fat test comes out. Are you doing the test where you have to try to eat 100 grams of fat each day for three days? That one can be a killer! Just keep your chin up and keep your faith, Tammy. This will work out somehow. Sometimes it just takes longer than we wish for the results we want. I admire your determined attitude and I know that things will work out for you in the end. With love, hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H. Griffeth South Carolina SC & SE Regional Rep.
