Don’t know how I’m going to work tonight.

[lisa___s]

I’ve got to work tonight but my body doesn’t want to. I worked this morning till lunch time and then I’ve been resting on the sofa with horrible pains in my legs. The feeling of muscle weakness in my legs and arms.

How can I go and cook for people feeling like this??

I can’t phone in sick cause I don’t like letting people down and plus I’ve hidden my illness from my boss 😬

I just want to rest. Even cooking dinner for my little family feels like a mountain to climb.

Sorry for venting x

Ohhh you poor thing. I’ve been through your situation countless times over many years. I know exactly how you feel xxxxx🤗🤗🤗🤗🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹xxxxx. If I had the possibility to do so I would fill in for you at work so you can take time to feel better if not recover.

I just prayed for you. Take care and God bless you. Xxxxx

Oh Lisa, I don’t know what to suggest. Do you work for a large or small business?

[Angelamarston1963]

Hi Lisa totally understand were you are coming from .

I suggest talking to your boss about your condition - you may be surprised at their reaction .

You may have to make some difficult choices in order to have better control over your life and illness . I know this sounds harsh and probably not what you wanted to hear but could you work fewer hours in your current job ? Catering is a hard job even when you are well . Long /split shifts - change of career ?

Also

Speak to your GP there may be more or different treatment available for you that could help .

In the meantime rest well

Take care

Thanks everyone for your lovely messages and support.

I did go to work in the end and I’m proud of myself for powering through.

I suffered for it though.

Now I’m in the same position today, but I’m drinking a coffee and taking some painkillers.

I can do this 😊 I’ll just rest when I can xx

I know how u feel! I really didn’t want to go to work today, I literally walked from my car the approx 100yds to work and walked into reception with zero enthusiasm and could have just collapsed right there and then!! Just felt exhausted!

I too managed to get thru it but not sure how?! I’ve recently had to start later, so instead of starting st 8am or .9am I start at 10am which has made a big difference. Then I finish at 4pm I only work 2 days a wk , 12 hrs in total but pathetic really but cannot manage anymore than that. Luckily my partner has a well paid job otherwise I’d be screwed!

Everyday feels like u are just catching up from the day before ha!! Hope u managed ok today
