Hi Richard , im reading your comments with interest , ive had IVF treatment 4 times, ive carried on working while under going injections and all the other treatments such as scans and appointments . Occasionally i have needed to rest and yes i too have probably walked around like a zombie at tmes.
I've tried not too complain too much while having the treatment but until you actually go through this traumatic process your self i dont think your in a position to actually comment on whether this lady is " swinging the lead or not !" its a painful and extremely emotional time. Each person reacts diffrently to treatment and the crazy drugs they give you play havoc with your body.
I too was told not to lift ( im not sure if a waste paper basket comes into this or not ) but again it really depends at what stage her treament is at ,how long has this lady worked for you ? was she like this before her treament started ? How long has she worked at your company ? surely if she's had good appraisals in th past you could put it down to Treatment, i dont know about cemicals effecting her or not but could you not compromise and get some cleaning products that are kinder to the enironment that have low chemicals ? ( just a thought )
Like i said ive had IVF 4 times and each time i have had it its effected me differently each time , what i do know is its painful and its a very distressing time , shame you couldnt be a little more supportive ? all i can say is thank God i dont have collegues like her ! doesnt look like she'll be getting much empathy or undestanding from you lot .
