Fed up :-(

[Flops08]

Hi everyone,

So went back to work today have been off for two weeks, HR have advised my TL that they are very concerned over my sickness record. Unfortunately I have had to take time off due to depression, rheumatoid arthritis over the last two years.

They have referred me to occ health.

TL has said she will do all she can, but I think HR are looking for a way to get rid of me so now I'm worrying about that.

I'm seeing my consultant next week so I do have appointments due to the increased pain.

Fed up, I'm sure you feel the same that it feels like we have to keep fighting to prove we are in pain.

Useless bloody body!

Occ health are there to help. They have refer you to

a) cover themselves that your not been put at risk

B) they are not doctors so no nothing about people's condition

I'm in the same position and was glad when occ Health got involved cos they are taking it seriously.

Do you have hr?

Also stick to sickness policy? (Ringing in daily, taking in sick notes)

Tell them your concerned as want keep your job and can't help that you're ill.

Thank you ladies for replying.

That's really interesting, I have a consultant appt Wednesday.

On my last lap I was given a coil. But the pain is getting worse.

I looked at your page Lindle, I have other immune problems thyroid & rheumatoid arthritis, I'm sure this is all connected.

That's good to know about occ health. We do have HR & they have requested the occ health referral as they are very concerned about my sickness.

Hi,

Occ Health have done a report so say I suffer with two chronic conditions & my sickness absence is likely to be higher.

Just waiting to hear how HR want to deal with it now.

I also saw the consultant a few weeks ago & he has suggested another Lap & he will remove the endo this time. But there is a 3 to 6 month wait.

It's hard going to work some days,no just want to lie on the sofa with my hot water bottle.

Hugs to you all
