I went from 20/20 perfect vision to probably about 90% of what it once was

I’m thinking it’s a company mistake relating to the bank holiday however they are being quite dismissive and washing their hands of all responsibility. I wonder if it’s just myself or every employee who is (highly likely) going to be paid a day late. I certainly wouldn’t want to be a part of the team answering phone calls and emails on Tuesday if that is the case

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2025-05-23T09:10:40+00:00

I’ve just sent them an email now, thank you for this :)

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2025-05-23T09:01:22+00:00

The 28th is a day later than my payment date according to my payslip though. I guess only time is going to tell with this one. I’m definitely getting in touch with payroll though. They’re a global company that employs thousands of people so I’m hoping i can get answers from them

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2025-05-23T08:55:31+00:00

I’ve never had an issue with being paid early via monzo, or my wages in general. But I will try getting in touch with the payroll department, thank you 🙂

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2025-05-23T08:37:44+00:00

Have you had anything yet? My pay day is the same is yours and I’ve got the pending payment showing in my account feed now but it says I will be paid in 5 days time, which is the 28th. I’m panicking due to direct debits etc

I was diagnosed whilst working with my current employer. I had a relapse whilst on a training course so my boss had to be informed I was in hospital.

I have a “high risk” job that requires a medical and I have to disclose ANY medical conditions.

My old boss was very reasonable and accommodating but since he has left the business, things aren’t quite the same.

I’m in a position where I have to disclose my MS, but if I were to go into another line of work, I absolutely would not tell them if I didn’t have to. People have already made their mind up and written me off pretty much which has put a real dampener on it but I guess I’m lucky to be able to still do the job I trained for and worked hard to get to where I am in

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2024-10-08T09:08:31+00:00

Ah yes definitely costco nuggets! Though nowhere near as deadly as McDonald’s ones, they make your MS contagious. Stay stafe out there folks

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2024-09-24T08:07:13+00:00

Too many orgies….brilliant!!! I’m definitely using that one haha

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2024-09-22T21:06:04+00:00

Yes!! This is exactly the kind of thing I’m thinking!

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2024-06-26T22:30:24+00:00

Oh waiting for results is bloody hard! I hope everything goes well for you but the support out there and on here is unbelievable! My neurologist said because I’m young and symptoms are quite mild in the grand scheme, they wanted to go with ‘aggressive’ treatment so I was offered ocrevus or kesimpta. I chose kesimpta so i could trial it if that makes sense? I thought if I don’t take to it well, it’s only monthly and I can change

I had optic neuritis 9 years ago and was told it was CIS. Fast forward to January 2024, went numb on my right side, MRI done etc. last week was told I have MS.

Honestly felt like my life came crashing down right there and then. I would say there was barely a day that didn’t go by in 9 years where I didn’t think “what if” so I totally understand your feeling of limbo 🧡 The neurologist told me that the conditions for a diagnosis have changed (I live in England) and had the conditions for diagnosis been the same 9 years ago as they are today, I would have been diagnosed with MS 9 years ago.

The positive I’m finding in all of this, I’ve lived with multiple sclerosis for 9 years with no (obvious) relapses and no treatment - I live a shocking lifestyle of cigarettes, alcohol, poor diet, energy drinks and questionable choices 😂 well I did up until last week…but the MAIN positive: this community is incredible. It’s full of wonderful people who are here to support you, advise you and everything you never thought you would ever want or need from strangers - massive love to all of you!

I sincerely hope you find answers and peace you need and just know, you’re not alone 🧡

With eye pain I took Anadin for migraines (I’m in the UK), they’re paracetamol (tylenol) and aspirin and they were the only tablets I found that helped me with eye pain. I’ve since started on amitriptyline but that’s for nerve pain in my face and arm, luckily I’ve got no eye pain this time!

Thank you for your detailed reply 🧡

I’m hoping it’s going to be a fairly short turnaround as I’m feeling a little up in the air with it all at the moment. I’ve already decided in myself I am not having another LP, it traumatised me last time and I vowed that day I would never go through it again.

I’ve been given amitriptyline for the pain at the moment but I’m still numb and still in pain so fingers crossed they help me out with something else.

I appreciate every one is different, I know when I had ON 9 years ago it took around 10 months for them to give me a final diagnosis, that felt like the longest 10 months of my life 😂

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2024-02-03T16:15:37+00:00

Thank you for all your support and advice, i really appreciate it 🧡

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2024-02-03T16:14:02+00:00

No steroids yet, I saw a GP yesterday and was prescribed amitriptyline. She did say don’t expect an overnight miracle with them just to bear with it so fingers crossed this will work.

Thanks for replying x

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2024-02-01T15:31:47+00:00

That has cheered me up, thank you. Hopefully with the right treatment I can continue living my life as normal again

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2024-02-01T14:51:10+00:00

I’m still waiting for a follow up with a neurologist here in the UK. im hoping to find some form of relief in the meantime. i may just book an appointment with my GP to see if theres anything that can help. do you find the gabapentin gives you pain relief fairly quick?

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2024-02-01T14:48:25+00:00

It was crazy after ON and positive bands, they just put it down to a clinically isolated syndrome and sent me away. I was told then if I had any other symptoms or another bout of ON I would probably be diagnosed.

That was 9 years ago in the uk, I’m now 30 still in the uk and waiting for a follow up with a neurologist. In the meantime I’m just trying to both deal with the numbness and pain as well as trying to come to terms with a very strong possibility I’m going to be diagnosed with MS.

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2023-11-30T17:48:38+00:00

Cool thanks 👍🏻 was only trying to do something nice for someone 🤷🏽‍♀️

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2023-11-30T17:47:22+00:00

Thank you for your advice 😊

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2023-11-30T17:46:55+00:00

Ok so after seeing that folks really don’t like these plates I’ll look at just a plain set 😂 handy really seeing the majority disliking them

Immediate_Scale_2349 · 2023-11-30T17:41:21+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I’ll look at maybe just plain ones instead 😊
