And then every time I get a new job, they have a 6-month probation period where I can't take any time off, so then I'll be stable for 6 months. Right when I was about to be able to get time off to start coming to appointments, to get on to immunomodulatory therapy, I get another flare and then I have to take prednisone. I have to come every day, or every week and I lose my job.’ And he's been doing this for 3 years.” –Provider 8 |
