Hello dsfibro:
I was fired from my last job on March 13, 2007 and i have not worked since. I gained my disability on october 2010, but before this i had been at the same job for over 13 yrs. and i had to leave due to sexual harrassment. My disease had been diagnosed in 2004 and i left the job on october 2004. I could no longer handle the stressful situation i was in. I worked at different jobs from 2004 to 2007 and my disease and my mental state got very bad and i could no longer handle working outside the home. I was fired because i kept making alot of computer mistakes and missing alot of work they really had reason to let me go. I suggest you support your situation, because you had the notes from the doctor and you were not laying out of work everyday, so that has to give you a fair chance to prove that with your medications that you can continue to do your job. Good luck with everything! I now have a 20 month old son and he is the most wonderful job i have had the chance of ever doing and i get lots of hugs & kisses that you would never get from a workday outside the home!!!
Thanks,
