What do you think would be the best job for someone who suffers from HS?
Hello to all,
As someone who has been living with HS for 14 years and counting, thankfully I was still able to maintain employment throughout the years, despite how progressively worst my HS got...
So I'm just curious to know, what would be the best job for you or someone who suffers from this condition but they are looking to enter the workforce also, they don't know where to start as a reference point.
For example, is it best that you get a 100% completely remote job? Or maybe a job that allows you to come in a few days a week?
I'm really curious to know. Please share your insights.
Hi, I've had HS for a long time but just got a diagnosis. I would recommend a career with some flexibility in the work load/ hours and with no uniform. I struggle with the 100% polyester uniform ( no alternative available ) plus any time off is unpaid.
What great ideas! Thanks for sharing. It must be miserable sometimes to wear a 100 percent polyester uniform. I feel for you. Has your diagnosis helped? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
Working at hospital or clinic
working at a hospital or clinic definitely could have some perks (like access to doctors who are coworkers). Do you have other ideas as to why you think this would be a good setting for someone living with HS? -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
I have lived with HS all of my adult life and worked as a nurse 30 plus years. You deal with the hand you're dealt. You do the job your capable of doing and some people are incapable of working at all.
I think work from home would be best. The lesions and boils I am dealing with right at this moment would prevent me from a job outside my home.
