Feeling anxious today because of a meeting at work.

I've got a meeting this afternoon at work regarding my work situation and my medical report, so this maybe my last visit to the care home ,its been reported by my doctor that its very unlikely I will ever be able to work again because of my FND , I'm not expecting a good outcome at the meeting .Please keep your fingers crossed for me .

Hi Littlecook. My fingers are crossed that your meeting goes well and I will be thinking about you today. ☺️

Hi sorry to hear this. I am in the UK too. Push as hard as you can for medical retirement as this will benefit you the most. Higher payments are available for this.

Good luck.

I never thought I would retire at 62 its a blow to the system, so wish I could claim my pension now 😢

fingers crossed. My cousin has this condition. She had to learn to walk again. She has noticed stress makes her symptoms for fnd worse. It will be extra important to manage your anxiety in the future and apply for social security (if you live in the USA… also, you almost for sure will be denied, so appeal it). Work usually gives stress, so you may want to volunteer or work part time if your body can handle it. Definitely do low physical requirements in case you have hard days.
