Neurology appointment

First appointment went well.He reassured me I dont have brain damage but my coordination isnt good and my muscle tone is poor. He is sending me for a scan of the neck and brain and a peripheal nerve test then its back to see him. He did reassure me that he doesnt think my cognitive impairment is permanent and he thinks its just due to the stress I have been under with my mobility needs then this but again, he cant really tell me untill tests are back, looks like a 4/5 week wait for scan not sure about nerve test. He couldnt tell me if I have had 3 mini strokes or fits either until I get tests but there is no obvious brain damage so phew on that.

It’s always good to get the first appointment done - especially when it goes well!

Hopefully you won’t have too long to wait for the tests, and the results.

Thanks Karen

Cant believe it I have only been off work 4 weeks on Monday coming and now they are sendong me for an urgent referral to OCC health basically stating I cant do my job, a collegue has just informed me they are taking on 10 part timers as they have already stated a while ago they no longer need full timers like myself! I am so stressed about this I feel they are making me unable to return I am still waiting for a call from GP to see if he is keeping me on the sick so worried about this on top of everything else.

Hi Wendy x

Contact ACAS straight away and get advice on what to do - they can help with mediation etc before anything happens

My Uni made me redundant because of my health - even though I worked from home all the way through my sick leave - so don’t delay!!! xxxjenxx

Thanks for this, I have never had issues before and its the last thing you need when you are going through something like this.
