Post by: SallyG on February 06, 2015, 09:22:09 AM: Yes he is really perceptive and helpful. I am nervous because it is hard to assess how I feel really. I have had two good weeks of peace and feeling good - third week on HRT so I don't want to go back too early but at the same timeâ€¦â€¦â€¦work is a good routine and financial security of course.! Hope you are feeling ok too?

You have to assume that occ.health understand that, and can take a flexible approach. Be honest - tell him your concerns and see if he can help formulate a back up plan for any wobbly days.

I feel pretty good, thanks. :) Sleeping better, which makes a HUGE difference!

That is so refreshing to read, Sally! If only everyone's experience was so positive!
Do you feel better, just knowing you are supported?

I do feel like I am being taken care of. I feel very blessed. :)

Post by: CLKD on February 07, 2015, 03:55:57 PM: Do let the Doctor know how helpful he is. Occupational health only works if the man at the top is aware of all medical situations ;) - I too was lucky in that Dept..

Teen hormones? Yours or ;)

I do feel very fortunate to have been put in touch with the top guy. The person on the ground at our place has pretty much retired on the job and the fact that this consultant works independently means he is refreshingly cynical about the workplace and crystal clear in his assessments. All is well and all manor of things will be well.
