Any teachers on here? How have you made work life work for you with MS? What things should I consider when I go back to work next month?

Work/life/MS balance

Just sounded out my boss' son. I had my days cut from 5 to 3 to 'save the company money'. I was told that this situation would be reviewed at the beginning of March. No-one has approached me about it yet so I took things into my own hands. I suggested to the boss' son that I could do 4 days a week i...

Work life balance

At the moment my fatigue is through the roof. I am currently working full time but spend most of the weekends in bed or on the couch. I’ve thought about reducing my hours and doing a 9 day fortnight for a while but I’m not sure if this would help me. Has anyone found reducing their work hours ben...

Advice on family and work life

It is hard to get across how bad I feel sometimes. I don’t need people to understand, but I don’t want to assumptions either. My cousin, who is always my boss five days a week, can be so hurtful. I may say my legs are achy, but don’t go into detail. He has no idea how much I struggle and can be ve...

Recently i have had a few problems at work which have resulted in meetings with Occupational Health, who gave me a cognitive test to see exactly where i am compared to someone of the same age and edu...

new 'Work Life' website

Hi all, just heard about a new website that has been launched to provide information to employers and employees about the rights of employees with long term health conditions. I know a few people have posted in the past about concerns about work so thought it might be helpful.

Legalisation

I didn’t think MS could still humiliate me. I feel bad about how I’m effecting those around me and how I am going to be a greater burden on my family. I lost it and tore into my wife. I was in such a haze that I can’t remember what I said. I acutely remember the feeling of being mortified. Of c...

Moving to the isle of Man

Hello I'm considering moving to the IOM for work and for a better work / life balance. My neuro team here in the UK will keep me on their books but my monthly post lemtrada blood tests would need to be done on the island. I'm aware there is a reciprocal healthcare agreement between the two but un...
