Hi

Sorry for the late reply. I just read this today, and frankly I am angry and quite fired up (no pun intended). I am going through a frustrating situation with work myself, and I understand when you're so ill, the thought of fighting is overwhelming. But there are advocates for you out there. I live in Canada, but i checked, and the Lupus Foundation of America has advocacy programs for people in your situation. You don't have to do this alone. Lupus is a poorly understood disease already, and a little more awareness as to rights might do the next poor employee at that company some good in the future.

Take care
Lady

Hi again,

If you go on the LFA website, at the top of the page, click on resources. Then on the left hand side click on employment and disability.
Hope you get the info you need.
Fortunately for me, my union is involved. Otherwise I wouldn't know how to proceed.
