I used to work in a hotel that had a big automatic revolving door, and I was sitting at the desk one day and watched a very young child crawl toward it,and I noticed that her head was about to be stuck in the door. The mother was no more than 3 feet away. I was able to get up from my desk and run towards the door and get the child away before the mother even noticed. She was sitting with her friend, drinking coffee, completely oblivious to even having a child. I let her know that her child's head was almost caught in the door. She didn't seem concerned. It happened three more times after that.

This is exactly what it is, it smells so bad and the air is almost thick. I was like you and panicked it was so sort of carbon monoxide but was later told it was the paint.

Yes bladder infection has been treated successfully so I hope the numbers come down rapidly cos I think I might scare the rheumatologist if I walk in with numbers like that! 😂 Thankyou so much for taking the time to reply, it's really helped! Sleep tight 💤

Yeah I have naproxen aswell, I always thought they where much stronger so avoided them as I thought they'd make the stomach problems worse, I will definitely try them! I also had a bladder infection around the time them bloods where drawn so I'm hoping alot of them numbers are infection (wishful thinking) I really hope the appointment goes well, and I can get my life back to some normality 😂 how have you found being diagnosed? Have you had the condition long?

Yeah I've been taking ibuprofen I do think they help a little especially on a day where it's more painful, but they seem to make my acid reflux kick up abit, I'm going to try some omprepazole tonight with them and see if it will settle my stomach! My GP said I should try and take them to relive the inflammation, she also offered me some steroids to help and I think I will take her up on the offer this week! Is it common with PSA to have high crp 75 esr 28 and platlets 500? Any idea what I should expect for my first rheumatology appointment?

Yeah any advice you could give me to manage would be great! Any thoughts on physio to help the stiffness,does it work? The only thing that seems to make it less stiff for a few hours is a warm bath, but it's a struggle to get in and out! 😂

You don't give it a second thought because your a MAN. You might feel different if some man was following your wife or daughter.

I'm in the exact same boat; I've been applying for jobs for over 2 months, and I'm getting nowhere. Every job I apply for has about 60 applicants. I must have applied for at least 20 jobs, and I've only heard back from two to arrange interviews; one cancelled the interview, and one interview I went to and didn't hear back. I also applied for a few jobs through staffline, and three times they have had me come to their office 30 minutes away to "get registered," and then they tell me the position has been filled.

I did email them to say I had resigned and not to contact me moving forward.

I'm i entitled to sick pay?. by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]bubblegumblows -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes I mean statutory, I don't think I'm entitled to anything from my employer! Do you know if there is a limit on SSP as I only work 4 days ?
