5. I've thought about commercial drivers licenses in the past.

But I'm pretty sure from what I've heard I'd be blacklisted from any of those jobs because I take an anticonvulsant medication for seizures. Even if you're well controlled (and mine are for the most part, though I did just have a seizure about a week ago) just taking an anticonvulsant medication raises big red flags. Someone I know supposedly didn't take their migraine medications because of that fear. I don't know how unfounded their fear was.

I hear ya with the stopping marijuana usage, at least temporarily... I'm just worried because the ulcerative colitis and the pain associated with it always seems to be worse when if I'm not using it on a near nightly basis. I have no problems with not using outside of fear of pain and suffering.

Thanks for the advice, Tobin. Much appreciated.
