Travel

I'm interviewing for a new job atm, I really really want it, but it involves a percentage of travel. I will travel 2 hrs into London each day, then to suppliers dotted around London and beyond.

The one thing I struggle with, because is also have IBD, is travel.Do you struggle with this?

 How do you cope? I'm hoping my meditation and mindfulness practice will be enough to allow me to attempt this new role, but I'm very unsure about how I will cope

  • Hi - I've had UC for over 20 years - multiple flares per year - totally uncontrolled.    I found that two of the Imodium Instants first thing in the morning gicv some stabilisation.      I've also been on a background daily dose of 10mg prednisolone and occasionally, a 50mg Tramadol if you want to stop everything dead.  Smiley.  

    (I'm lucky - I have no side effects from Tramadol - some people get stoned or sick on 50mg)

    I get to do anything I want using combinations of those drugs - long distance driving or international travel.  Smiley

    Common sense says take an emergency pack with you - a change of clothes, baby wipes plastic bags etc. take up no space - get a RADAR key and learn where all the service stations are..

    Good luck with the new job!  Smiley
