Every time I work, I end up getting sick, missing time and losing my job. This has happened with me on several jobs. My mother and my boyfriend talked to me about going on disability so I can find the right medicine and run through diagnostic tests to see why I get sick often. However, I'm stuck on wanting to work because I only see my acid reflux causing my illnesses. To me that can easily be controlled with over the counter stuff, so the hell would my mom want me to do my diagnostic **** for something simple? I want to work, and I eventually want to find a career that allows me to work full time and make money. I also want to go to school eventually as well. I'm so tired of getting sick from my acid reflux episodes though, and I easily get infections as well pneumonia after each episode.
