AIBU time off work

[Pkwio]

Disclaimer
I have epilepsy and multiple Sclerosis. I work fulltime. I've worked for the same LA for many years.

I'm fucked. This heat is killing me. I can hardly move. MS is doing this to me.

Can you take some annual leave at short notice? I work for an LA and we would allow this as a reasonable adjustment for someone with your conditions.

I also thought of you taking some type of leave. Hope things get better quickly for you.

Try and take some leave, keep really hydrated. My father had and and heat was bad for him.

I would have thought that if you’re having a flare-up of your MS, you would be entitled to sick leave - if you’re more or less incapacitated, you’re unwell, whether the heat is the cause or not. It’s not like you’re just a bit tired! You have a serious medical condition.

Do they know you have MS? If they do then you should be fine to be off sick without it affecting your record because heat is a known issue with MS.

Should I have to take leave due to having MS?

Call in sick. You are sick. Do they know you have MS, and what the implications are (eg flare ups)?

Yep take sick leave. And since ms is covered under the disability act, they can't penalise you.
