Seeking advice.?

Question:

I am a 46 year old man with a High School education. I have worked 28 years for a construction company before they decided to place me on long term disability for Crones Disease. The company pays me $15,000.00 per year to stay home and not work due to the fact that I need to use the toilet two or three times a day. The company stated that I can not work for any other company as long as they are paying me a yearly income with some medical benefits. I am find it is difficult to pay some of my debts and I would like to supplement my income with a job without jeopardizing my current salary. Some people mentioned a job for cash, but I have not found any to this date. I feel that I am too young and useful to stay home and do nothing and I need the extra income. I do not know if other companies would hire a person with a known medical condition in today's job market being 46 years old and with only a High School diploma. Would anyone have any suggestions? Sincere Thanks to your answers.

Answers:
wondering and the first guy gave great advice.first i think that you are normal. i dont have a disease and i go to the bathroom more than that. second of all you would make more money at another job and it would be easier instead of working around this one. third consult a lawer potentially they did you wronge man. its not like you cant work at all. 2 or 3 times a day. like the other guys dont take more smoke breaks than that. these are some options worth considering.

acoording to doctor u dont have any problem going to toilet 3 to 5 times per day is normal. u better get your right from that company because u are a normal person

Oh my dear! $15,000 annually is not enough to survive nowadays. I will pray that someone on this site will have some helpful answers for you.

Good luck!

Look at your strengths. Do you have any hobbies or skills that are marketable? Use those skills to make money. If you enjoy computers..how 'bout computer repair work?.Artistic talent? Sell paintings.

Sorry to hear about your disease. Depending on where you live, all you need to do is drive around and look for a construction site or a house that is getting a new roof with a little amount ov vehicle there. I worked construction for cash for years and I am telling you that you probably have a pretty good chance of getting a job if you go up and ask who is in charge. I fell for ya man and I hope some puts there trust in you and gives you an oppertunity to prove yourself and live your life in full. Good luck

My suggestion would be to stop trying to find a job "around" your other one.
You can work a full time job, and make a whole lot more than $15,000 dollars a year. I have a friend who has Crones, and I know it isn't a pleasant condition, however, it isn't something that will keep you from working. Just find a job that will allow you to be able to take several breaks, maybe something in an office.

Bartending at the local tavern where you can talk to the owner and explain your situation.

i feel sorry for you and maybe you should seek the advice of a lawyer or some human rights organization regarding your company's treatment of you. u are still too young to just stay home and do nothing because what they pay for you is not enough to survive. seek also medical advice and have to find people with the same kind of disease like you and see if they are also in the disability program like yourself.

Sadly, taking a job while taking the income from long term disabilty will simply negate your long term disability pay. (Actually you can possibly be charged with fraud and be expected to pay monies back!)

Check with SSDI on a supplimented income. Having a disability can (in the US) lead to poor income, but check with your doctor on alternative income sources without jepardizing your current income.

Best of luck!

my ex husband had crohns and my chiropractor gave him colloidal silver. within 6 weeks he was off his meds, and 2 months later there were no signs of crohns at all. now he goes to the bathroom just once a day. you can get colloidal silver at a health store, but it is only 5ppm, you should get it from a chiropractor, which is 500ppm. you take two drops under the tongue twice a day for 7 days. ive taken it for stuff too, it really works. and no he was not misdiagnosed, he had all the tests and a colonoscopy and everything. he definately had crohns. hope this helps.

maybe u should try getting a new job if the company ur with is only payin 15,000.00 a year bcause thats not enough especially with gas prices today so ur normal and u need a job.
