You do not say what work you do but maybe you need to consider other options and a change of job. Look in the local papers for possible jobs can you get training ??? The supermarkets are quite good at employiny people with disability ....stay positive. My daughter has a seizure weekly but after recovery carries on working.That is an office job and the seizure is mild. Sometimes the smaller firms are more thoughtful. I wish you luck and lots of it.

I had the same problem, I ended up not working for 15 years except for volunteer work. But on the plus side I got a few payoffs from employers even when I had only worked for them a few weeks. I just kept quite about my heath until I got the job.

I worked as a cleaner for The NHS in a hospital for 10 years but lost my job this year due to new bosses so I feel in same position they can get someone else in who wont be going to fit or attending hospital appts
