I FEAR LOSING MY JOB ADVICE NEEDED
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi there, Maybe its my own fault but i have had most of my symptoms now for a long time but have only started going to the doctors the last few weeks due to my symptoms becoming very bad.I am struggling every morningand im severely sore all over to the point im in bed until 2pm most days in the last couple weeks. Ive had about 7 days off in the last two weeks and have explained the situation to my boss. My issue is my boss txt me earlier saying i should go on unpaid offcial leave for a couple weeks to rest and chase up my doctor. As far as im aware a diagnosis can take 2 years or more so what do i do? Do i carry on working and get sacked for taking too much time off or do i quit my job and get no financial support what so ever? Ive always been so hard working and hate taking time off but i physically cannot do it at the moment. Has anyone been in this situation? Please let me know your storys or advice etc kind regards Hugh

If you are going to leave your job ask your boss to write you a letter stating why he thinks it is the best thing for you to do in your situation ,this should cover you for claiming benefits,if you choose to leave on your own accord then you will not get any financial support for 8 weeks! If your boss sacks you then you will receive help straight away!Sounds like your still trying to find a painkiller that works the same as me ,i have tried many but always end up with the horrid side effects,at the moment im on Codiene but seeing my GP this week again about trying something else,as the pain is sometimes unbearable especially at night when trying to sleep ,good luck with everything hope this helps !

were i was given the diognoses . does take about 6 weeks to get appointment with them. if pain is the worst thing for you at the moment invest in an infrared lamp one on a stand i brought a philips on ajustable stand that does ease the stiffness and pain. but u have to do it at least twice a day . plant based magneisum is also very good, for pain and fatigue.
you are entitled to bennifit if diognosed but it is a battle ,you must get help it took me two attemps ,but got it in the end but no idea if with all the changes if i will get it when it runs out next year.hope iv helped a bit

good straight forward advice.
also iv just remembered after a real struggle
a supplement that hepled me for quite a while in the begining
its called D-ribose powder look the supplement up and read about it make your own mind up. weather its worth a try,
the biggest problem is avoiding stress , it seems us sufferers are weighed down with stress ,emotional, family, or work , i know the more stress i have the worse my symptoms . mine has been worse since my son son left special needs school 7yrs ago .

we have got to remember that doctors will throw any drug they can at you ,they get bonuses from medical companys to push there drugs ,holidays ,cars etc, if you have noticed the flu vaccince is pushed very hard at everyone even toddlers, because for every so many used they are paid a bonus, i am afraid the days of doctor finlay the caring doctor in most cases are gone. rest assured you arent losing your mind
but remember in most cases we have fibro with lots of other symptoms not lots of conditions , thats why alot of the time the meds dont work.
did you know that they are finding girls in america that have had that drug to help prevent cervical cancer, have devoloped conditions like ours but a lot worse,and these are girls that were fighting fit,before cheer leaders and swimmers etc ,makes you wonder whats going on out there.

got to be worth a try . if you think about it, if your body is stressed then every organ is stressed, resulting in not digesting your food properly which means not getting the nutrition that most people get ,so you lack the stuff that keeps you well
, have you tried hemp or coconut milk its much nicer than soya and is full of good stuff like minerals, vitimins and minerals must always be taken together if you just buy multi vitimins you might as well tip them down loo. oh by the way i asked my GP what he knew about minerals and he said not alot we only do 1 afternoon on it in there training. says it all really
