this is a NEW(sorta) program to help those with disability 'on the job' ...

you'll be fine ... you have been working ALOT ... I'm proud of you!! maybe, too much - but that's for you and your body to discover!!

you're a smart cookie ... call the ADA in your state ... best to you, my friend!
I would have to disagree with coming out with any disability type talk especially since it sounds like she is still able to do the rest of her job really well. Imo employers absolutely do blackball employees they feel are a liability or costing too much. There are so many ways to document performance failures that I wouldn't want to take any chances especially with something like this that has multiple, relatively painless solutions.

FWIW I just got the cost my health insurance is paying for my Copaxone and it was over $3,000 for the 3 month supply. I'm a very hard worker but no way am I worth an extra $12,000 a year which is what I am costing my employer thanks to MS.
