I've worked for this company for 17 years. I can't go backwards. Additionally I was told that if I'm on FMLA I have to pay for my insurance. I can't afford that. But I have a call into my doctor and my boss is going to talk to our GM today and see how, if at all, they can help me.

Do you have short term disability? If so, that will pay for your insurance... it is a reduced pay.. mine is at 40% of my pay but it is something... and look up the exact FMLA ruling... I do not think that they can take your actual position until FMLA is exhausted..
Hope your boss and doc have some suggests...
