Crohn's disease?

There ya go, the correct answer!

 

My post was more to his severity of his disease. If it is bad, and has frequent flare up and sometimes need surgeries, and hospitalizations. Then Again it's going to be a tough road for him. My wife hasn't had a severe flare up in 4 years or even serious problems. But b4 this she was taking not sure how to spell it Remicade shots, and having to take days off work. Somebody show me a trucking company who likes getting drivers to go pick up their trucks when there drivers are frequenting the emergency room or can't take loads because of bad flare up's. I'm sure there may be a couple who understand, but for the most part. They want the wheels on the truck to be going round and round round and round.

 

I understand what you are saying Dinomite. I used to take Remicade and now I take Humira and give myself shots every 2 weeks. Yeah if his crohns isnt somewhat under control it will be hard. I have mine somewhat under control and I also know what to do if I start to flare up. I still have a few symptoms but I just stay on top of it.
If I was in a flare though I wouldnt go on the road because I wouldnt want to end up in a hospital far away from my house.
I just didnt want him to think that crohns should hold him back.

 

OTR might pose a big challenge with this condition. Could this driver still take local work? You're in and out of the cab more often (but not necessarily near an accessible bathroom at each stop).

What about being an equipment recovery driver?

 

Crohns can be controlled as long as its under control OTR will be fine. Challenging at times yes but thats why I watch what I eat. I have also been dealing with it for 18 years so I know a good bit about how it affects me.
Its just really all depends on if he has his disease under control or not. I dont mean zero symptoms just under control.
