They are demanding that I sign a Hippa release, releasing all my medical records for the next 5 years. Of course I refused!
I did however win on 3 counts on my first filing with BOLI. This is good news. Employer was found guilty of 1. Not entering into the accommodation process, 2. Breaking the ADA laws by not accommodating my disability, & 3. Retaliation. Suppose to be in negotiation process but they are choosing to ignore any attempt so far.
All of this makes an already stressful job 100 times more stressful. Just dealing with the RSD is stressful enough. Not sure how long I can hang on to my job. It's a battle for sure, but got to survive and keep my medical insurance and a roof over my head.
Thank you all for a place to come. I live alone and sometimes ya just need a place to come.
Praying for a better year for all humanity!
Love to all

TJ, your so brave, I cant imagine how hard it is to have rsd and live alone, im about to find out though because my husband just left me. scary. Good luck with your job file for disability now it takes a long time to get it, two years in florida. I worked as long as long as i could really longer than i should have as it aggravated the rsd, but it was so hard to give up my carreer. i understand what yoiu are going through. then it just keeps getting worse, you do not get medicare or medicade which ever one it is for two years after you get disability it makes no sense. wishing you the best dc
