Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / October 2004Work - Need opinions please
Hi Guys, I have been offered a job in the Orlando area that would go Monday - Friday next week. I would probably have to work about 3:00 pm to 3:00 am for 4 days and I'd be 2000 miles from home but it's a lot of money and it's been a slow summer for me. It's not a lot of manual labor, mostly setting up a unix network at some motorcycle shops there. Think this is do-able? I have to give them my decision tomorrow and your opinions really mean a lot to me. Have a great evening Dan Hey Dan, I tried to e-mail you a couple of times, and both times it was bounced back to me as undeliverable. Any idea what is up with that? I cannot tell you whether or not to go to Orlando, only you know yourself well enough to decide that. What does the wife say about that? Will you be alone working there? I know what you mean about needing the money. I'm wondering how I'm going to get by until the 2nd Wed. in October when S.S. pays me again. You are so lucky to have a job and be able to work. I envy you.

Can you get someone to go with you to help you if you need it? What happens if you crash and can't finish it? Even off of Tx, 12 solid hour days four days in a row would hurt me. What is the worst that could happen if you crash? Would it be a disaster if you had to go lay down for a while? How have you been doing? Some people never miss a day of work and don't have problems with sides. I think it depends on you. If you think you can do it, go for it.

I think I'm going to go for it. I'm thinking I'll do my shot tomorrow instead of Friday and I should be good to go for Monday. It's like $3500 for 4 days work. Being that I'm pretty much broke right now, I don't see how I can pass it up. I'm going to ask the doc about the shot on Thursday and then switching back to Friday next week. I'll also tell the people that there is a possibilty I could have to go back to the hotel on one or more occasions. We'll see what happens. Be well! Dan > I think I'm going to go for it.

I've asked my doc about that, he says it's not a problem one day in either direction. > I'll also tell the people that there is a possibilty I > could have to go back to the hotel on one or more occasions. Is there anyone there who you can call on to help you out if you need it?

Hey Gordo, Yes, my doc said he knows people in Orlando if I needed to see someone out there. Have a good one! Dan Don't be silly!!!!

Sorry, Boogerman, but I think it's silly to take on a 12-hour a day job, especially one so far from home, when you're doing tx. Even if you're not suffering too much from the side-effects, tx is taking its toll on your body, your emotions and your brain. I understand the challenge of accepting the contract, and the financial benefits attached, but unless you really, really *have* to do it, I'd say put all that energy and enthusiasm into healing, into KILLING THE f.cking VIRUS. There's also the chance that you could damage your professional reputation by not performing as well as you would normally and, remember, there's a whole life ahead of you when you get through this. Of course all this is IMHO (in my humble opinion), but then that's what you asked for, right? <grin> All the best to you, regardless of your decision. Waterspider Is this a one time job? Not every week? If so I would try it if you feel ok enough to try. It just depends on you Dan. We all have different levels of side affects. Mine were on the very shitty day kind of sides. I did make it 3 months into tx and worked, though on shorter hours. Good luck.

I think I'll be OK, when I've had really bad days in the past, an Oxycotin seems to have made working tolerable. Seems like I have been taking them about 2 or 3 days a week. Take care, Dan sh.t! Oxycotin will make almost anything tolerable. Oxycotin addiction is worse than getting off heroin. Kill the dragon, stay addiction free. Julie > > Is this a one time job? Not every week?

Oxycotin addiction is > worse than getting off heroin. > Kill the dragon, stay addiction free. It was the rep about Vicodins addictive nature had me so stressed for the two years I was on it. The thing is Julie, taking one a couple of times a week for real pain is not the same as "using". Even my doctor told me not to worry about it, that I was managing my pain properly and taking 30 500 mg tablets over the course of 6 weeks FOR PAIN was not cause for concern. And you know what..he was right. When they finally gave me a cortisone shot (right into the nerve) I was able to go to something much lighter and never had a problem quitting on the vicodin. So just because some people use pain killers to get high and become addicted doesn't mean everyone who takes a pain killer for pain is going to do the same. AG > sh.t! Oxycotin will make almost anything tolerable. Oxycotin addiction is > worse than getting off heroin. I worry about the same thing with Xanax - not an opiate addiction, but still a nasty one to get over. I won't want to finish tx with a big Xanax monkey on my back. People who take opiates for pain (as opposed to for fun) have been shown to be able to get off of them pretty simply. Does treatment qualify as pain? > Kill the dragon, stay addiction free. > Julie [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > Dan > sh.t! Oxycotin will make almost anything tolerable. Oxycotin > addiction is worse than getting off heroin. > Kill the dragon, stay addiction free. > Julie Hi Julie, I haven't had a problem with pain meds addiction before. A few years ago I cracked a rib and seperated the cartlidge in my sternum when I was skiing. I took oxycotin for about 30 days and when I did'nt need them anymore I was glad to not take them anymore. It seems like if I had a problem with these I'd be taking them daily and not the 2 or 3 days (and I never take more than 1 in a 24 hour period) a week that I currently take them. Be well! Dan |
