Hi L2L
I hope that you are ok - please don't be concerned - I wasn't alarmed and appreciate you sharing your views with me. Sorry not to have replied sooner - have had some problems with extra szs having reduced the lamotrigine to counteract the falls - have reverted back to previous dose as you might expect! Have also being going through the difficult step of dealing with my job being at risk. I have been away from work for a year now - sick pay stopped in May and a decision has to be made where to go from here. Met with the unit Director (a pathologist) and head of Human Resources and was referred back to Occupational Health (OH) specialist. I work in the UK National Health Service (NHS) ironically... On recommendation of the OH consultant, I am applying for early retirement on ill-health grounds - if that fails I shall appeal and if the appeal is unsuccessful, then my employment contract will be terminated. All this meets the requirement of UK employment law in the circumstances of ill-health but nevertheless it's difficult to see it in a positive light at the moment. Many close friends and colleagues who have observed my condition over the years believe I should write a book - perhaps this will be the push I need to get on with it!! All the best Sue |
