Hi everyoneThis is my first time posting on this forum and I am doing this today because I really need some help and advise concerning where I stand with my employer and how I get them to understand how hard it is living with IBS.I am 22 and have had symptoms of IBS for the last couple of years through university but have only just recently been diagnosed. I started my first full time career in January this year and have found it extreemly difficult coping with the very loose bm, abdominal cramps, gas, headaches, fatigue, nausea, vomiting etc infact you name it and ive probably had it at some point...although thankfully not all at once!!Since I started my job I have probably had around 20 days off with my IBS, a figure I believe to be reasonable considering my condition but work doesnt. Today I was told that if I have more than 2 days absent in the next couple of months then they will take disiplinary action and this could result in me loosing my job!!! Im really upset and I am completely confused about where I stand, Ive always thought they have never understood and I think they just proved it!!! I am renting my first house and I have rent and bills to pay and I dont think they realised the effect that they are having on me and the fact that stress actually makes my IBS worse. I've already lost my social life and I dont want to loose my job aswell. I spent hours tonight crying my eyes out on my boyfriend (who has been my rock through all this) but neither of us knows what to do next. To be honest I dont even want to work for them anymore, I feel people dont want me there, that I am a liability and a hassle to have as an employee. I found myself wanting to scream "Its not fair, its not my fault!" at my boss today but just ended up biting my tongue, walking away and then about 10min later running to the loo with an upset stomach.I am at a loose end and any advice would be greatfully appreciated. Do I leave and find another job? (although I probably cant afford to do that) Do I stand my ground and try and make them understand? Or do I even try and find some legal help!Thanks for any advicex x x
