It was said in no uncertain terms that they would not start termination proceedings against me until my work comp claim is closed but that upon close of my claim it will result in my separation from employment (I think this terminology was used because they hope that I will include resignation as part of the work comp settlement...which I will not). Disappointing...and I very emotional and upset right now...but I will fight this and file a charge against them with the EEOC and get myself a good employment attorney.

Good news is that I should be able to start the tDCS treatments immediately since I will not have to adjust to my work schedule first. Small ray of sunshine in this otherwise dark situation...but I'll take it and continue to focus on improving my health while I go through all the legal battles.
Catra, sorry to hear that news.

Good idea to get a good employment attorney involved.

But that doesn't mean that you won't be able to return to work "somewhere", whether through a successful case against your employer, or with a different employer.

Another bump in the road. All of us with CRPS get more than our share of those, don't we? This journey we are on is NOT a straight line!

Keep up the determined spirit and good luck on your tDCS treatments!
