Yes in fact just yesterday my OH was at work from 5.30 to 11.30 - can be a normal day at times, though most involves flights and communting like my day used to.
How do you know that they have nothing to do with work?
Did your employer equally refused you to take one or two days off (like me) when I had an emergency (private life) because they thought that was for revising?
Were you equally working on a trading floor?
I rarely got time off, my OH has lost "13 days annual leave" as was untaken - It does happen. but equally they are good for emergencies and allow working from home at times to balance it out. No he we works in IT which is just as high pressure with very tight SLA's with huge financial penalties.
This is a funny logical : i you are injured you are injured....
If the injury is caused by work and stress then once not stressed the symptoms would be less prevelant.
Oh yes, of course....and they have made me redundant before the second medical internal date....
Well then you have medical records showing that the hours, equipment *may* have led to this.
Ps : don't make me waste my time.

I know they have nothing to do with work, they are due to a tumour and work didn't cause the tumour, things happen sometimes and no one is to blame.
You were clearly working in an unhealthy enviroment but that doesn't mean it was to blame for everything. If it was you need proof. You can't assume because something started whilst you were working that work was 100% the cause.
Most people know when work related injuries are the cause because their symptoms lessen when on sick leave, when exposure is less. They may still have them for life, but during the earlier times they can clearly identify that working caused this.
I don't get how you have proof - I am not saying it wasn't the cause, but from what you say, where is the proof?0 -
Actually I'd look at cluster headaches if this hasn't been explored medically to date
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_headache
Wiki - link but there are many support groups and other sites on this.
I say that because eye, neck and back pain are all sypmtomatic of them and there are many treatments that limit the attacks (don't cure but help).
I find that Oxygen helps me tremendously along with other medication.0 -

What you are describing is not CBT, and/ or was not focused on your issues with your previous employer. What I am suggesting is you working with a therapist to rationalise, work through and hence get over this specific issue.
You have no evidence that your current health problems were caused by your employment. Despite many people being involved in the medical investigations, not one has reached this conclusion. The chances of you convincing a court of a link, based on the information given, are zero. You need help to get over this and move forward, hence my suggestion that you revisit therapy.0 -

If think I have explained that after have done several investigation I have made a last one in 2011 since the doctors were also suspecting a tumour but thankfully that was not the case.A cat who's been sprayed with hot water, will then be afraid of his own bowl of innocent fresh water.0 -

Ps : I have found the months ago a website (unfortunately in french) regarding my sickness here .A cat who's been sprayed with hot water, will then be afraid of his own bowl of innocent fresh water.0 -

So, one the main trigger is still really present since two weeks my new landlord tried equally to unlawfully evict me (this time it is because i am now on benefit (after 6 years of leaving on my savings and half time work due to my sickness)) .
I may sue at least the police for unlawful eviction also.A cat who's been sprayed with hot water, will then be afraid of his own bowl of innocent fresh water.0 -
Great. Anybody else you want to sue?Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman0
