Hi firespray

I am so sorry to read that you are feeling down at this time, and I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to your issues. It must be very frustrating being in your current position as you must feel somewhat in limbo?

With a bit of luck you will not have to wait too much longer since you have your assessment letter? I want to wish you all the bets of luck with your assessment.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

I have lumbar and cervical spinal arthritis disorder of left sij joint due to lumber arthur and fibro. I work full day in an extremely busy customer service cenre whicj can be stressful. I am struggling with this on a daily basis. I take a cocktail of drugs and go into theare twice yearly for injections. Please don't rush back to work. If it wasn't for my morgae I would leave tomorrow and take up my hobby of baking.i have been on sick leave due to my condition in the past and am now on a management plan which means if I have any time off in the next 6 months I will get a warning. Employers arn't great with chronic long term conditions. Take care
