Thanks for the advice. I will try to find out what she is taking and look it up. I really don't doubt that she may have bad days and I think that's understandable. However, on the days when the pain was not bad, did you still feel that the medication would interfere with your work? She can have days when she seems cognitively fine, but she still doesn't do much work. She went from doing nearly everthing in the office to doing very little. There are days when she will talk and talk and seem fine and other days when she just sits and does nothing. It also seems odd that the days the boss isn't in, she's usually "snowed". I know she needs this job for the benefits and I'd hate to see her lose it because of this. I'm trying to help her, but I'm not sure how to do it.
