Cabin crew DVT

Hi, I developed a DVT on my 1st ever long haul trip back in July 2007. I was off work for nearly a year while I had to wait for the occ health team and my NHS consultant to work out went wrong.. only they never agreed. Occ health would not acknowledge it happened in company time and my consultant advised the aircraft conditions had something to do with it because of the low humidity and pressure which can cause dehydration. And that this could affect someone walking around. I am now being made redundant ulimately because of my illness which caused me to have time off, oh and I'm pregnant!
