i have the same freakin issues at work. I tell people of my condition, and of course, they think im lying jsut so that i can get my ways. ive worked at my current job for a little over a year, and ive called in sick at least 20 times and i leave early, as well. ive tried exercising, meditating, not eating as much, anti-diarrheal medicine, EVERYTHING!!!and it still doesnt help.now, im on lomotil and lexapro. its calmed me down a bit, but i still have bad bouts of d and im still going crazy with waking up at 4 in the morning jsut so i can drive 10 minutes to work.
