[QUOTE="Dogbutler, post: 787419, member: 92939"] Hi, As a result of other endocrine conditions, I developed type 2 diabetes a few years ago. I also have other some other medical problems not least of which is hidradenitis supperativa. Anyway, long story short, since 2005 I've had several episodes of long term sickness. My employer has been fantastic and I could not have asked for better support. I've now been on the sick since last July and saw the occupational health doctor yesterday. She too has been very supportive over the years and after a frank discussion about my lack of improvement after 8 months off, she suggested I retire early on medical grounds. I agreed, mainly because I feel so guilty about my employer still paying me a proportion of my salary when I have no guarantee of being able to return to work. Sorry this is a bit of a ramble, but at 53, having worked all my life, the thought of not working again is a bit overwhelming. I just wondered if any of you guys had experienced something similar and could give me an idea of what happens next. Thanks for reading, [/QUOTE]
