975514 tn?1324997938 I wanted to start a thread for those of us who have CFS and or FMS and are dealing with stress in the workplace. For those of us who are still working, the economy in the US and perhaps in the UK too has been extremely tense over the last couple of years. This has compounded the pressures I think we usually feel at work dealing with our illness and managing our careers. How do you all do it? I find myself struggling to keep a healthy balance.
Avatar m tn The success rate is about 70-80% and the treatment time is not too long relatively. It looks like you live in Canada so I assume paying for treatment is not a problem.
Avatar f tn In the U.S. typically it's not paid. From what I was told, you use up your sick/vacation days (which is paid, according to however your workplace does it), and then you have 3 months under the Family Medical Leave Act of unpaid medical leave. The only way you'd get a paycheck during maternity leave is if you have short-term disability insurance (which of course I don't). This is one time I really wish I was in Canada.
1542957 tn?1305078438 Laws are different in different countries so this may not apply as I am in Canada and I think our laws are a bit tougher here. They have a duty to make reasonable accomodations. So moving you to a quieter place is a reasonable accomodation to most people. Even if that means just moving you to the corner of the room versus the center of the room.
Avatar f tn m sure there must be some form of disability rights law similar to the ADA in Canada (apologize for not knowing). Under the ADA you can request reasonable accomodations that would make your job easier. But regardless of what specific rights you have think of the specific stressors that occur at the job and ways around them that won't impact on the workplace and speak to your supervisor about ways they could be set up before you go back to work.
Avatar f tn Am so sorry to hear that you are having to go through this especially at this point in your pregnancy. I will be keeping you and yours in my prayers. Ask if copy of your husband recent check will suffice until they send the fax.
Avatar f tn This is my third pregnancy and my last 35weeks. I am so happy I live in Canada cause now my Dr has arranged for a nurse to come to my house three days a week to do my non stress tests and check my bloodpressure. It is way less stressful being able to do all this at home and not having to find childcare for my other boys. Not to mention it is completely free thru government.
10452875 tn?1436484351 Look into what HR has for workplace accommodation, that might include you needing to sit whenever you need to. If its not something they can accommodate they might be able to release you early for leave. Look into it.
Avatar f tn I just found out that I lost my work today because I cannot stay well in a workplace that has clorox, paint, polyurethane, bacteria, with NO return air. I am in a very specialized field--I teach newly arrived refugees from Burma, Africa, etc. tospeak English. It may be too late, but is there any kind of mask I could get and still teach--I guess, however, that it would have to cover nose, mouth and eyes--maybe I coul wear it half the time. I need/love the work.
Avatar n tn It definitely sounds as though you were in a hostile work environment that caused you a great deal of stress and eventually caused you to have to seek a new position. The fact that your immediate supervisor was involved rather than trying to help you is also deplorable...and wrong. However, the burden of proof in a legal situation is on you. If the new job caused you to take a pay cut, then you certainly could seek damages for the loss of income, not to mention rank.
Avatar f tn 6 weeks if vaginal and 8 weeks for csection.
Avatar n tn m not much help regarding the buzzing in the ears. It could be related to high stress or anxiety, or uncontrolled blood pressure, sinusitis, ear disease like menier's disease, or medication side effects. Make sure your hearing is tested and of course see your primary care doctor to have a whole body physical exam and see an opthalmologist becauese of the eyestrain. I wonder if you might have some problems with your workplace - such as enviromental issues.
506514 tn?1210785523 Hi PeacelsAlllWant, how are you? Can you give some details of the nature of job you are doing? Usually the stress and strain to the body does cause a bit of muscle soreness at the end of a hard day out. The events at the workplace if bothering might also make you mentally stressed. When you are not working probably you might be following a set sleep cycle, which might make you sleep better. It is better to keep yourself physically active whether at work or not and follow a healthy sleep habits.
Avatar f tn Has any one here ever miscarried from stress? My husband is making my life miserable, and add a taxing job on top of that, and I'm constantly feeling cramping in my lower abdomen and back. No spotting, but with the constant state of anxiety I'm in, I can't help but feel like it's only a matter of time.
717440 tn?1292743742 It can be helpful to use as a tool for detox .I know they OKed it for use in Canada and there was a girl on here that said she could have used the sub but she ended up using a different method I am not use which province she was in .
Avatar f tn I know exactly how you feel and I react exactly the same to work stress. My only answer for myself is that I've decided to quit my job and look for something less high profile. I think we have to be aware of our 'stress vulnerability' with Bipolar, it really is a very big trigger, possibly the biggest trigger of all to mood episodes. As ILAD says I think we have to learn what coping skills work for each of us. Work stress drove me to drinking badly, and made my BP even worse.
