I have had fibromyalgia for around 5 years, and have been trying to stay working. However I have recently had a severe reaction to a pain medication that has caused my condition to get worse, resulting in my job performance falling below set standards.
When It first happened (early november) My doctor dismissed my claims
that I was having a reaction, by stating I probably had the flu or something. I was given 2 epidurals, and recieved little relief from either and told by my doctor to go back to work.
I informed my doctor that I was having trouble keeping up on my job , and that I needed to be put on fmla untill I could recover (If I ever do recover)
the doctor agreed and said I would be covered for 6 weeks for treatment and office visits however She would not write me out on a temporary disability , even after numerous complaints and visits from myself explaining my condition had worsened, even though she would only vaguely aknowledge what i told her. And as a result I have stacked up enough write ups due to not meeting my standards on the job that I was terminated today.
Does anyone know If I might possibly have any legal recourse?
