my job involves lots of heavy lifting and I'm constantly on my feet to be honest I cannot see a time when ill feel well enough to go back
sometimes I feel like I'm improving but then I slip back (as per my last thread!)
I'm unsure how to handle it as I can't remember what drs have said to me I have been referred to a neurologist and have to have a brain scan but its so hard for me to explain my symptoms without sounding like I'm just feeling sorry for myself

I sent my employer a link to this booklet from Mayo Clinic:
http://www.mayo.edu/pmts/mc1200-mc1299/mc1298.pdf It has very helpful explanations of the basics of brain injury and what the implications can be in the workplace. It also has recommendations for some accommodations that may be helpful for if/when you return to work.
