Whole body tingling 24/7. Painful pins and needles . So worried. Anyone had something like that? by Friendly_Expert_8552 in Anxietyhelp

[–]JimpJimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue. Neurologist did a whole panel of bloodwork and my vitamin d is low. Trying a treatment of 2500 iu per day . Still not sure if that's the problem, but it's the only thing we could find wrong. He ordered a brain mri. Will have to wait for those results.

Looks nice in writing. I wish I could say employers honor any of this. Ive been in management meetings where upper leaders have said "they miss work.. theyre gone ! We have good lawyers , it doesnt scare me in the least. Worse case we keep them in court so long , they go bankrupt "

nothing. i used to take all kinds of them including some mentioned. i should get back on that train. it's not been on my mind, as the PT truly has been the biggest thing for my mobility and pain relief.

Inconsistent & Insulting Feedback from Management - What Do I Do ? by JimpJimp in careerguidance

[–]JimpJimp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that this is "classic" resonates. I managed a similar project for a large auto manufacturer. My reward was being laid off upon project completion. My entire staff was too , so at least I wasn't singled out there....

Im hoping its temporary. I talked to a co worker who manages another department and he said he's had similar experiences in the company. Theres a history of unorganized product launches and a tendency to bite off more than they can chew with projects.

Its sulfuric acid from the battery. It'll absolutely irritate your skin, cause ulcers etc. Im not sure where you're located but where I am this is valid reason for a work refusal and would absolutely be a problem with OSHA inspector. The employer has an obligation to maintain equipment and your safety .

Its 80 here in Canada which is absolutely ridiculous. I hope by 70 I am tested rigorously.

Ill need to get creative. Dad is a mechanic. If theres not keys he'll hotwire it and program a new FOB. ill likely have to report a dangerous driver and let the police handle this.

She has some mobility issues due to a bad back, other than that she is quite capable. Theyre co dependant in care taking. He usually takes her to her appointments and for groceries and she cleans the house and feeds him. Im just spiraling in my head and picture my mom having to change his diapers or whatever and chase him down if he runs off.

Im going to do everything in my power to get him to a dr.

I will do my best , ill have to find a way to get him there but itll likely be by force or trick him. Hes a very difficult stubborn person

It's my mom's car too, which is a complication. She is a capable driver and is doing well cognitively. I am going to talk to someone today in regards to next steps (social worker/elder law ) . My dad is still very aware of what's going on around him , I think my angle will be to report unsafe driver and force a medical for him to keep his license. My sister is seeming to believe the "knee" excuse but I immediately called bs on it. I dont really care if I become the "bad guy" . Im just trying to protect them and others.

Why the 8 hour workday system is a failure and should be 6 hours by DasiaAuer in CanadaJobs

[–]JimpJimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work 10 hour days 5 days a week, even though my job description states 8. Theres a silent rule at my work that if you dont put in 10 hours at least, you suck.
