Hi all
I’m a temp ~ and am currently on SSP due to a CIS dx a few weeks ago. Since the dx I can’t say that I’m feeling the best I’ve felt, I’m wobbly and shaky, have horrible headaches and feel dog tired from the minute I get up ~ like the worse bout of flu every experienced or someone is ringing the life out of my body.
Anyway, before I Iost the use of my right leg at the beginning of September and the MRI which stated my symptons were consitent with MS I was a full-time temp, I worked (temp) perminantly for a UK retailer in the imports & shipping dept but was never taken on their books ~ at the time it suited me. I was never sick, the Company never offered any benefits that I didn’t get from the Temp Agency, and I was happy with the job and my colleagues.
However now I’m in a right dilema, as it’s looking like the company I temped for dont want me back ~ and definitely not if I’m not 100%. I cant ask for reduced hours or flexi time, and they don’t have to accommodate me in any way! So, it looks like I may well have to start a job search in a few weeks - if my Agency don’t find me anything suitable.
I’m signed off work and on SSP until this time next month and my Neuro appointment is on the 29th October… so I have a few weeks grace (living off savings and SSP at the moment)
I’m just stressing about the prospect of interviews and the thought that I may not be 100% fit when I have to attend them ~ has anyone else changed job during this pre dx time? or after dx for that matter.
Am I going to live the rest of my life on the ‘dole’ sending application after application and having to suffer rejection, due to a dodgy leg and the inabilitly to stay alert and awake for 8 hours a day?
