Oh great, arthritis to add to my list!! I'm beginning to think that if I believed in reincarnation, knowing my luck I'd come back as me!! :banghead:

Well I'm hoping it's not the Neuropathy with an HBA1c of 51 but I'll definitely get my Vitamin D checked again as bar a daily walk I was indoors a lot during lockdown.,

Thanks all, I'll ask for another blood test again to check as it was low a few years ago but with the supplement it was fine but no idea when it was last checked. @Daibell Yes I'm on Pravastatin. Was wondering actually since lockdown I've had my meds delivered by another company and whilst I...

Sorry Mr Pot it's been a long day. Went to a Rave then the pub and finished off by hugging as many people as I could!! Obviously kidding!! In answer to your question I have absolutely no idea if I will be vulnerable to Covid or not. I might breeze through it but I might not and unfortunately...

Problem is will a GP sign me off?! Then it's the problem of works new sickness policy which could mean a lengthy time off sick could end up with me losing my job anyway! So difficult that we are put in this situation. Nobody should be terrified of working and I always thought employers and...

I found that earlier but the article is shorter than it was an hour ago. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newslondon/uk-coronavirus-live-4-5-million-vulnerable-people-could-be-told-to-self-isolate-amid-virus-surge-with-care-homes-put-on-alert/ar-BB18YXqA?ocid=msedgdhp

"It may come down to two choices. You trust the government to do the right thing and protect the health of vulnerable individuals and to do this sooner rather than after the event. The other option is to protect your own health by any means possible. This may involve persuading a reluctant GP to...

I'm on Fultium Vitamin D funnily enough and have been on it the last few years. When I spoke to my GP a few months ago to ask if I needed to up it because of Covid and the Vitamin D link she said that I was on the correct dosage so I assume all is ok with that. Not sure if it shows up on the...

Re Larry Vaughn from Jaws it's funny that you posted that because I compared Boris to him months ago! Sadly we don't seem to have a Chief Brody or Quint to save us all at this point!! Watched a video last night from a news interview in the States that claimed 95% of all those that ended up in...

Just wondering if diabetes creates either muscle or bone pain in others? All started with a left wrist problem last year. Assumed it was due to my bad golf swing and ended up having an x-ray which came back clear and was going to have further investigation but it was postponed due to lockdown...

@Picci As others have said I would definitely speak to your GP and also get as much advice as possible from your Union. In fact if the routes between yourself and the school have become strained then ask the Union if they would speak with your Employers directly. From what you have said I...

Absolutely agree. I personally now feel I have no choice but to stay on and just try and stay as safe as possible. I love the job and have no real issue with the school or my employers it's just Covid and the Governments ineptness that I have issues with. I certainly can't survive on...

Had an interesting chat with both my Head and the Union today and then a surprising development at the end of the day. Firstly was the chat with the Head. Nice guy to be fair and was nicely complimentary about his hopes that I will stay as I do a good job., Nice to hear and I only half...

Maybe I should insist on walking. By the time I get there the day will be over! Problem solved!! :)

20 miles there and 20 back might be pushing it for me on a bike!! ;);)

Thank you, and thank you all for your support and input. It really helps to just get it all out here and that's why I started the thread. It helps to vent!!! Talking of venting, this made me laugh, to the point of exasperation! We have so many staff now parking has become an issue in a small...

Bang on!

Well I am hoping to see my Head tomorrow to discuss a way forward with either a work from home option or even a partial work from home option. I'm going to suggest at the very minimum I can leave an hour early at 3 after the kids have gone., More often than not we have training or catch up on...

Couple of things Nicole if I may. Everywhere on the planet cases will be brought in from somewhere else. Restaurant outbreaks will be because someone has brought it in,. Hotels, Universities, schools, homes, the infection will be brought in from somewhere else and then it can spread. Navy...

Wishing you all the best as well. Universal Credit is a very grey area as if you leave a job voluntarily you get sanctioned and are unable to claim for months. You are also expected to take any job that is offered. Not sure if maybe there is a way to leave the job without it being a voluntary...
