Question: Hello, I have had quite a large bruise on my left shoulder for about 4 years. It is about the size of two hands together, maybe more. It has constantly been visible on my shoulder ever since my sister noticed it about 4 years ago. It doesn’t cause any discomfort which is why I have never been to my GP about it. Sometimes is isn’t very visible, but most of the time it is pretty purple like a normal bruise. But I would just like to put my mind at ease about it as it doesn’t seem normal to have a bruise of that size constantly on my skin.. I know it’s not a birth mark or anything like that.

Question: I am a (…) and currently working in a (…) I am also a (…), a vocation I undertake on weekends. For the past three years I have noted a pattern that has worsened this year. I am experiencing moments of fatigue which has become chronic. The past two years I was doing my part-time (…) studies (online) in addition to my generally busy work schedule. Realizing that I could not keep up, I put my studies on hold this year, added exercise as part of my daily schedule but there has not been improvement on my fatigue case. I have seen the doctor a couple of times when it got serious this year. Two months ago I was grounded by what was diagnosed as flu for two weeks, which was coupled with insomnia. I was treated and came back to work, but soon the fatigue came to play. Last month I took a week-long leave to rest and the following week we went on a staff vacation(…)and my hope was that I will get back to normal which has not been the case. The biggest challenge is that my concentration level has dropped drastically hence my work performance such that my boss has given me an ultimatum to shape up or ship out. What would be your assessment and advice in this situation?
