I had this for about a year, and it really only went away when I quit my job. It wasn't even a particularly demanding job, but I guess the lifestyle + the fact that I felt I was wasting my life away might have played a role. Nothing else is really different.
Most people are familiar with the Peter Principle where it talks about people rising to their level of incompetence.
But I think there's still plenty more that makes it worth a read. For example, something along the lines of, sometimes a man will pop an antacid and lament that their illness is negatively affecting their work, when in fact the causality is exactly reversed
I have had near-debilitating non-GI physical symptoms when it was time to leave a job in the past. I might just be bad at responding to those before it gets to be a five alarm fire.
Worth mentioning is I got the same symptoms (tendinitis) a few months prior to this, but went to PT and got them resolved. Bodies/minds are fun!
