Had the doctors informed me 2 years sooner, or I found this vital health information on my own 2 years sooner, I wouldn't have a permanent occupational disease today. This disease had no known cure or treatment, but it is totally preventable. A good question deserving of a good answer. Instructions at work are misunderstood, new techniques are learned only with great difficulty, productivity reduced, appointments forgotten, and tiredness is overcome by sheer willpower. At the end of the day, rest is the only thing desired.
Family life is reduced to a minimum.
Noisy children very often lead to an explosion of irritation regretted immediately afterwards. The need for social contact is diminished, leading to isolation not only for the worker but also for the rest of the family. Gradually, an increased number of sick days reduce the families income. Many of these workers are forced to stop work as early as 45 years of age because of the invalidating symptoms, in particular tiredness, headache, dizziness and intellectual and personality change. The Canadian Neurotoxicity Information Network is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing important health information to those suffering from symptoms of the disease.
