well its hotting up!
Thankyou for your support. wildnorseman I did manage to get something together for occupational health, thanks anyway for the offer of help it is much appreciated.
I think i have managed to get most of what i want to say about how my conditions affect me written down. Thanks to you too JoJo x

So for the update.. Its been a roller coaster!

I found out via phonecall last week from works occupational health that the Neurologist report had been recieved by them , despite my request to Neuro blokey that i wanted to see it first. Turns out he hadnt made the changes i requested.

when i rang the pain clinic secretary to chase the other report from my other consultant, i found out that Occ health had contacted them to say not to bother writing the report as they didnt need it any longer!!!

I was/am really quite angry about this, ok i was bl**dy furious ..as I want ALL my medical history, conditions to be taken into consideration.And feel that the the whole picture is vital to understand the difficulties i experience and how they affect my ability to work and live.

The angry part of me is yelling " hey , i cant just ignore one of my conditions so you shouldnt either!)

It turns out that the pain clinic specialist is notoriously slow at providing reports and after waiting eight weeks and despite my chasing it has not come through. And occ health dont want to wait for it.

I am reading into this that the neurologist report must be enough on its own for occ health to make a recommendation? But will have to wait and see what they have to say tomorrow.

However , would really like the other med report from the pain clinic specialist. I dont want the pension trust to have any reason to throw it out and want it all to be taken into consideration.

Just imagine how i would feel if it was to been rejected and i knew that all the medical information hadnt been taken into consideration!

I have been under the pain clinic for 12 years or so for my spinal injury, and so occ health is aware of a lot of the limitations is poses on me . so maybe they feel they have all the information they need regarding my back condition.

But even so , its a major step for me , giving up work and i think i need that report as a part of "my process", even if occ health dont think they need it.
I need to feel that my employer who i have struggled into work for 15yrs truely understands just what i have been dealing with.

I guess i could still insist on having that report written and pay £200 myself for it. Thing is i havent got that kind of cash and i think that the multinational company i work for could at least honour their request for the two medical reports.. £200 a drop in the ocean for them!

So whats next, I have an appointment to see the occ health Doctor tomorrow at 11.30 am.
I have my notes and hopefully my partner can come in with me as im so exhausted and full of emotion right now , im worried about not communicating everything , let alone take in what they say to me.

( postive vibes please).
