You all know that I have been off work since Nov due to intense headaches. Well I got an interview whilst off and the day before the interview, I called the agency and advised them that I was not in work at the moment and was this going to be a problem? The woman I spoke to pretty much laughed at me and gave me the impression that she wanted to know why I had called and to go to the interview.
I had an interview and drove to it in agony and I gave it everything, despite being in massive pain. The gp was still treating me for the wrong thing and as they were not satisfied, wanted me to stay off from the office until correct diagnosis.
I was still off when the second interview came and not wanting to be humiliated again through the agency, I did not call them. They knew I was still having head pains and these were bad. So I went to the interview again in agony and got through it. The only comment about my head was passed when offered a drink and I accepted water as had a dry throat and was getting over a migraine. Also my little one had a cough and we had it all.
A couple of days earlier, the hospital had confirmed that I had been diagnosed incorrect and to come off all drugs. So, I mentioned that I had an interview and the specialist told me to go for it.
I got the job offer a couple of weeks ago and with it is a health form. I ticked the box that said I had been off and I sent a seperate letter advising what had happened and the doc had wrongly diagnosed me. The incorrect diag, meant that the drugs caused the head pain to get worse. Heck, I had driven to the two interviews in total hellish pain and I gave them both everything. When I got out of both, it took me ten minutes to get any relief to move the car and drive home - then went to bed again.
So today, the agency called me concerned that I had been off - as per the doctor note- for a period of time. The woman knew I was bad with head aches but was not aware of the amount of time that it had taken to correctly diagnose me and the doc had insisted that I not work until then.
The company now want a meeting with me on Thursday to see how I am in respect of the condition... that is now well under control with the new drugs and I am doing great...head pain is very rare - however, have to stay off until middle of month to ensure drugs are working - can take up to 6 weeks before affects are felt. I asked the agency and they were like - well we did not know you were off - (well they laughed me off when i told them).
I have expressed massive concern that I have resigned from my position and the guy I am meeting is aware of this fact. I would have crawled to the interview I really would if unable to have driven.
I am really worried, really am as i wanted this job so much, you cannot believe it. I figure as does carol that they just want to check on things - confirm whats happening and its under control which it is. I am 100 per cent different from what I was.
You dont know how much I want that job and am terrified that because of my health recently, I am going to get it rejected.
Would appreciate a few good vibes if there are any left. Heck i even have to go into my office tomorrow to collect my personal stuff and I am dreading that beyond life. Add the two together and all i see is black, black black - do you think that the company just wants to see how I am and the likelihood of it happening again - they want to cover their own backs which is understandable?
I aint gonna sleep much these next two days with worry.
Thanks for listening
