the oil company transfer me more hard position even I say my KD condition
my Dr told my company do not change my position , but they still change , more tough job, how can i do?
That's a bad thing, Leon. What to do about it kind of depends where you are. In Canada, you might be able to talk to your union or government Health & Safety or Workers Compensation, after discussing it with your companies human resources. In a harder postion with your company, you are more likely to be injured, which benefits neither you nor the company. Is it possible to have a talk with your Human Resource department, and make sure they understand your condition? In Canada, companies have a legal obligation to try to accommodate disabilities.
thank you, Cam I already talk to HR in my company, they do not know too much about this disease, I made them talk with my Dr, however the HR say the two position have the same physical requirement, actually the new job require more walking that I can not handle,
no choice, suffuring from pain, no body understand, they even think you lie and lazy

BruceLeon, Cam has given some good advice. What is your supervisor's take on this?
Now that you and your doctor have discussed the issue with HR, you need to document your concerns.
I would follow up with ...
Ask your doctor to write a letter to HR explaining your current physical capabilities.
In the letter, have him briefly explain KD ... no treatment or cure, progressive disease, fatigue issues after using the muscles for a brief period of time, etc.
In the closing, the doctor should express his/her concern that a serious injury could result from this new physical activity.
Copy the information on the KDA website concerning "What is KD" and give a copy to your HR manager. Personally review the symptoms and your current symptoms. Document the date you performed this review.
The key is that you want your doctor's concerns expressed in writing in case something happens. Most HR managers will see the letter as a 'red flag' and not want to do anything that could result in a law suit.
thank you, Bruce, I am going to do it as you saying
I SENT EMAIL TO MY DR TO ASK FOR THE INFO AS YOUR SAYING AND HR call me again today, I say I already pack my PPE in old job finish the last shift yesterday, and go to my new job in the next week. the HR ask me the two position have the same physical requirement why you think there have extra work, i say normally the new plant need your trace all the new sys and all the new operation, I will go and try my best
later, HR call me to see a Plant DR tomorrow, I do not know what happen the next, i only know to tell the truth before the God
