Hi,
Just asking about returning to work after been out with the illness for the last 2 months or so. Has anyone been in the same situation? My fear is that during the working day I would be hit with the fatigue that I suffer with and currently am able to lie down at home when it happens.
Thanks

I had the same fear piglet. And yes I did get tired at work. Work with your employer. Mine allowed me to go sit down in the break room to rest as needed. Also they put me on the family leave act (?) that allowed me to go home when it got really bad without it counting against me. Good luck and you can do this!!!!

Thanks Lostmama but I am not going to advise my employer of my MS. I fear that it may go against me.
I am going to do everything I can to keep the fatigue away , but I have a flexible job in nregards to breaks etc so if it happens I could just take my break early and go down to my car and rest.
I might follow up on the qt about what you said regarding family leave.
Thanks again
