Medication is Provided to Me Every 3 Weeks. Can I Still Work on a Ship?
Hi all! I was recently offered a job on a ship I was really hoping for, but I have some concerns. I take Humira shots once a week, but my insurance only sends them to me in 3-week packs due to the price of the medication. The ship requirements say that I must bring the full medicine amount on the ship with me for the contract (4 months on). I could maybe get away with every 6 weeks (taking the shots once every 2 weeks rather than every 1), but that's as far as I can stretch it.
I really want to keep this job, even just for 2-3 contracts, as this is a great step in my career; however, if I don't take these meds, I can't walk. It's possible I can stockpile a couple of months' worth before I leave, but it would be pretty miserable. The meds also have to be refrigerated, but I feel like that could be accommodated?
Any help is appreciated!
