genetic condition and work
Options
hello!
I’m 46, female and I have a genetic condition which presents all kinds of problems. For the last 10 years I’ve known that I have multi-level DDD which has got worse. I have finally begun to accept my limitations. Feeling quite miserable about it at the moment as I found my perfect job three years ago but cannot see a way of continuing.
Now waiting to see if the pain clinic can do anything for me.

Welcome to the community @shambam how are you doing today?
I am sorry to hear this, it can be tough dealing with a health condition and work. Please do not feel alone in feeling this way, as many of our members will relate to you. Have you considered reasonable adjustments at work?
I hope the pain clinic will be helpful. Please keep us updated

Hi Antonia,
Thank you for welcoming me.
I have thought about reasonable adjustments. My tasks are quite varied at work so one area would be possible, others not possible. We are a team of two who run a very small charity and do everything between us. Nevertheless, it’s worth a try!0 -
Hi @shambam and welcome to the community! Reasonable adjustments may be a good route to go down. Have you spoken to the other person you work with? I really hope you can make things work
