I have a question? I am in the throes of the worst rheumatoid arthritis flare I have ever experienced and it appears to not be responding to treatment (increased MTX). Feel utterly crippled by pain and the inflammation in bloods is very high.

Is it possible that the threat of losing my job is so stressful that it is impacting the disease?

Have to say I have been quite terrified by the prospect of not having a job. Afraid I won't have funds to visit home once every few years. So scared that I have been going into work when I really shouldn't. When the pain is so bad that it makes me weep, makes me sharp tongued, etc.

I am in the final wave of selection now. By 12 to 15 December I will either be offered a job (possibly one I can't accept) or compulsory redundancy.

What recourse do I have?
