So now i have had a dx of possible FND or still poss MS, I now learn that I am quite likely to be made redundant from the job I really love! Don’t know how I will cope with losing my job, financially it will be pretty traumatic, but emotionally it will be devastating! Oh what did i (or any of us) ever do to deserve this?!
Oh no! How awful. Either issue is bad enough on its own, but to have both together is unbelievable. (((Hugs)))
Aw, I’m so sorry to hear it. I had to stop work and I was gutted for a long time as I loved my job. I feel for you Hun xxxx
I know how devastating that can be, as it happened to me last year.
However, I have to say that it was also a huge weight off my shoulders as I knew deep down there was no way I could hold the job down any more, and was unlikely to be able to in the forseeable future.
If it does happen, then use it a a positive thing and use your extra ‘free’ time to be good to yourself and pamper to your physical, mental and emotional needs more than I would imagine you are able at the moment.
Stay strong xxxxx
Hi oh dear, what a shock this is for you. We tend to think we`ll never cope with huge changes in our lives, but you know we often surprise ouselves at just how much we can actually cope wit.
Take some deep breaths, sort out a list of priorities and tick them off as each is dealt with.
I dont mean to make it sound so easy for you, but I never thought I would mange financially and then emotionally, but 16 years down the line I have and hope to help others see that too.

Oh my goodness, my heart goes out to you. I understand how you feel about your job. I love mine and I am just about gripping on, although I can feel my fingers slipping, I will only give it up as the last resort. Where I work there are threats of redundacies too, I feel like I am under the spot light, every appointment, every wobbly step… For what it is worth focus on your health, you have a lot going on there; work well it is out of your hands, cross the bridges with that as you find out for certain if you are going to lose your job. All the best for now, I hope you get sorted a the right diagnosis confirmed soon Lou x
Thanks all for your support.
I get to find out more tomorrow about how many of the company will be going and what the process will be.
If I lose my job it will be financially very difficult, and emotionally devastating. Unfortunately I cant take time to myself after, I need to work, but feeling doubtful that a disabled middle aged woman like me will be able to find a job at the same kind of level and pay as this one. Guess no point in dwelling on yet, wait and see what happens.
I’m usually more optimistic about things but this illness has changed all that, I find life changes much more stressful these days.
Oh well, such is life, keeping my fingers crossed that things wont be too bad.

That is an awful burden to have to bear and I hope things work out for the best for you. Whatever happens, try to look on it as a positive although it may not seem like it at the time. Check to see what benefits you are entitled to and I think there is even a benefit you can get even if you do work that is not dependent on financial earnings. Hope things work out for you. xx
