Just when I thought nothing could make this horrendous flare up worse-I returned to work after a chiropractor appt and was asked into a meeting by my manager. I was told that on monday I have to get a workability report from my doctor. I have worked there 18 years, missed very little work due to fibro.or anything. All my work is being done, I assist at other sites. ThI am going on a five.hour road trip tomorrow returning Sunday. In the past Employees need to be 100% until they can return to work. This terrifies me.

I will keep you in my heart.
Things usually work out for the best is what I usually find.
Try not to let this stress you to much, I know easier said then done.
Hoping for the best.

I dont know If you about the FMLA. If you get this filled out by your Dr, this would save your job up to 12 wks in a year. It can be used one day at a time or several. I used it so many times. It save my job. Some days I could't get out of bed and I had to use it. Usually jobs dont tell you about it. You usually can find the forms in the human resource office of your employer. The rule is that you use your vacation time first, whcih sucks. But it does save your job. You can also use it for a sick family member also.

This might just be a new company policy.  Don't project yourself in the future.  You could be stressing yourself, causing more pain because of it, and there might not be a problem at all.  Today has enough worries of it's own.

 

This is out of  your control, too.  You just do the best you can.  That's all anyone can ask of you.  And, who knows?  There could be even a better job out there for you, if you need or want it!  There really are positives in all situations.  You just have to look for them.

 

Have a great, COMFORTABLE, road trip.  Be sure to stop every couple of hours and walk around for a few minutes.  If you aren't driving, print out a copy of the gentle stretching exercises in Fibro 101 and take this with you and do them periodically.  They really will help prevent some pain and stiffness.  These were developed for long flights.

 

Feel better and please stop worrying.

Hi Angel,

I don't know much about Fmla. When you need a day and you cant get out of bed.Do they let you use that for one day?,or does it have to be consecutive days.I'm having difficulty with work , fatigue and pain.I have been using a sick day either every month or every other.

This might be a good option for me,but can they use it against you,when it comes to deciding tenure.I don't think they could discriminate,but it happens everyday,im sure.

We try to act normal,what ever that is,so nobody notices our pain,bit its hard.
What ever advice you have on this subject,would help and be appreciated.

Thank-you,
Sage
