I just stopped talking about it. No one understood. My bosses sure didn't as I was always in trouble for my absences and ended up getting fired.
I lost a lot of jobs because of IBS. It never mattered how many times I went to the doctor for it and brought back documentation, no one understood what I was going through.
Once I had chronic migraines as well, I knew I was done working. I've been trying for disability for over a two years now. I've been denied once and am in the process of getting ready to apply again.

Im so sorry. This breaks my heart (even though its relieving that people UNDERSTAND WHAT IVE BEEN THRU) to hear u have had this happen not once but several times. U got fired and that is awful
I assume U had FMLA rigtt? If so...do some research on retaliation and Interference with FMLA. U could have gotten ur company to be held accountable for their DISTRIMINATION. Im so sorry. Prayers to you sir. Do u mind giving me so.e details as to some instances of the bsd things u had to suffer from? If u dont want to please U do not have to shate...its your right to privacy!
I love how its claimed that we have a "right" to use F.LMA...but i guess when it doesnt affect others so "badly " it dont matter. Thank u so much for ur comment. I dont feel so alone now.

I was only able to get FMLA once at one job. It wasn't available at my other jobs. I was working as an instructional assistant in an elementary school at the others and I had a crazy school. My health insurance was basically non-existent. I had to try and get it on my own and I eventually got ACCHSS after jumping through many hoops!
