Flexible part-time work options for someone with chronic illness?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person diagnosed with Crohn's disease and a permanent ostomy, seeking advice on flexible part-time work options due to periods of flare-ups and chronic fatigue.

Advice and Insights:
- Visit local job service and rehab places to explore job retraining options that fit your needs.
- Be clear with future employers about your limitations and skills to avoid surprises.
- Consider looking into what's causing fatigue and ostomy function problems and seek support from ostomy support groups in the community.
- Look for less stressful work opportunities, such as part-time jobs, work-at-home opportunities, or customer service jobs for big companies.
- Consider upgrading skills and starting your own business to have more control over your work hours.
- Be honest with potential employers about your health condition and the need for time off, but it may not be necessary to disclose this during the initial hiring process.
