I assume this means you have no long or short term disability ins?

can you possibly transfer into a different possition

Hi Honey,
You don't need the stress from the HR people wish I was there I'd talk to them.
You have RIGHTS and PROTECTION.
1) CALL EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) tel# 800 669 9400 if HR does not want to help you they could be facing Federal Fines.
2) Have your Neuro fill out FMLA **ASAP**(Family Medical Leave Act) then give to HR if you take off for your illness they cannot fire you.
*What is LWOP?

If you decide to leave work:
(this is up to you - are getting worse from working/stress?)

And if you have no long/short term disability you can file SSI (depending on your family income)- while waiting for SSDI.
Message me if you want to talk more. You sound so sick and I cannot believe how cruel some people are. You are a hardworking person and no one should treat you like that.

hi bell,
this has to be really hard for you,with not dealling with this for very long.
after all these year's,could you talk to someone to maybe doing some partime work for now. these symptom's are new to you and they could change.i'm not a dr.,but i've had experience with this after having ms for 15 yrs.
symptom's may not always stay the same.what kind of ms do you have?relapsing/remmiting?that's what i had in the beginning.
don't forget this is all new to you and you are probably so overwhelmed right now with alot of thing's.
maybe you can take on less work load?there may be a few different thing's that they could help you with.darn i hope they're willing to give you a chance,so you can see how much you can do right now.it may be only a temporary symptom.
i have friend's who have ms really bad (not taking anything away from what you're dealing with)and they manage to compensate on doing task's.
it's all very new.why don't you give it a chance first to see how thing's go.
then take it from there.
i don't know how long you've had these symptom's.
wish i could be more help to you.i wish you lot's of luck!

LWOP - Leave without Pay....Man, I thought I was being very immature taking a position I love as a "contract" employee with NO bennies, but after hearing the horror stories about the struggles some folks are having with their HR depts....I've decided not the worst decision, I've made. Sure would like to hear a win-win story!

I am so sorry to hear about the position you are in. I left work in June. I am going to take 2 years off. I fortunalely get 1/2 pay and my benefits if I want them. My husband tells me not to go back after 2 years if I don't feel that I can do it. I am a teacher and my district is top notch and the pressure and stress is enourmace. I am just looking into SSI and SSDI now. I do not know the difference between them and if I qualify for them.
If I do not go back after 2 years off I will have to retire with 14 years. I will get hit with a huge penalty. If I can make it to 15 years my disability retirement will be sweet.
Hope all goes better for you.

When I worked for Progressive insurance, they were wonderful, no pressure, got everything taken care of. Then went on to Long term and AFLAC gave me hell, saying that MS was already there when I signed up, etc. A long battle.
