Hello all,
First sorry this is going to be a long post ...I have been diagnosed with CIS last year but my doctor recommended that I start treatment because of my high risk (high lesion load , positive LP) my diagnosis symptoms was optic neuritis and numb right foot , I later developed mild tinitus.
A year has passed and I have been doing well , no relapses or progression and my ON resolved with full visual recovery and I am thankful for that ..
My current dilemma is that I feel trapped in a job I don't like due to the comprehensive health insurance package and good package I am given , here in Dubai there is no free health care for expats you either pay out of pocket or you are fortunate enough to have insurance.
What I hate about my job is that it is a too relaxed government job and I feel so underutilized and with no purpose. I used to work in the private sector previously and while the pay was less it was very rewarding in terms experiance and the fullfillment of my career ambitions..
I am currently on Gilenya ,Novartis does provide a patient access scheme albeit with a rather high copay.. but the other drug companies (biogen etc) don't provide such facility here ..
A part of me wants to get back into consulting at the private sector but I am afraid that private companies would not want to provide me with medical insurance due to the high cost of the medictions ,or that things would go downhill for me and I would be better off in my current less demanding job , so what shall I choose security or long term career development ?
Last it is about disclosure , I don't think that I am obliged to disclose my diagnosis at the job interview but I would like to hear some opinions about that ..
