I wrote a response earlier then battery went before finished.
Was saying sounds much like what happened to me. I tried three times to return to work. In my case I had to take place health retirement in the end after a year off sick.
Try not to think about work right now. Unfortunately you will have to go with it and not force yourself. Be at home and take things steady.
Good luck with all your tests. Excellent to have found a Dr who is listening to you. Makes all the difference doesn't it. Take care x
Sounds like you Tracy and I live in same pat of he world Beverley.
I know someone else who goes to the seacoft clinic. X
Hi Beverley
Thank you for your reply. I have just got back home from taking my sick note to the universal credit office. Hopefully I will get some financial help as sick pay is just not enough to live on. I don't live with the my partner so the bills need paying. I just hope that if it comes to me lossing my job because of this illness that I qualify for help. I have a contract until the end of January as it is a new job! I think we have a clinic in York that helps people with the illness so I can ask to be referred there, but thank you for your advice about that. I will look at the M.E association and join once I know that I definitely have the condition. Once again thank you for your advice. 😁
Just the journey alone to leeds from York and back must be exhausting enough X
when i was working I was travelling into central London from where i lived near Heathrow. As my health declined it was like pure torture just travelling on a train then bus to where I worked.
I moved back up to Yorkshire nearly four years ago. Haven't even got over that ! X
Hi Tracy,
Ah, I guess you commuted to work from there, presummed you lived Leeds area.
Yes York should have a clinic too. Also, the ME association has a booklet to help to apply for PIP benefit. I'm not sure of the time periods for SSP but, if you are unable to work you can apply for ESA once SSP comes to an end.

Thank you again Beverley.
Hi Janet yes it has made me much happier with the doctor listening. I just don't understand how you can feel ok and start pottering about at home then go back to work and feel so horrific. The drive really did take it out of me my fella doesn't understand why work takes its toll on me so badly. I live in York so not far from you at all.
