They're are certain cases where FMLA can be denied. Although, i don't know what those are, and/ or if it pertains to you. I'm sorry you lost your job. I just got in trouble at mine. I had to sit down. I was afraid of falling and hitting my head. I had an ice pick to the ear, and a taser to the sinuses. My fault. I licked my lips. It's so hard to keep a job while we're in pain. I have lost a couple here and there. Maybe this is leading you somewhere you otherwise wouldn't have gone or find. šŸ¤” let's make it a Scooby-Doo doo mystery. šŸ˜‚

Anything that involves solving a mystery Iā€™m in! Spirits a plus!! Yes I hope someday I can go out and about Iā€™m not normally one to keep still am a go go go go person. Plus I still thin Iā€™m too young to be like this itā€™s not fair sigh. šŸ˜”

I had to leave my stressful job in sales that I had been head hunted for (before my diagnosis) as sometimes I lose the ability to speak

I had to leave a successful career that I loved as a video producer. When I had the electrifying pain that happened randomly but often, I would drop everything and run to an ER where sometimes Iā€™d be given morphine. I eventually had to collect disability and figure out how to get rid of the pain for years . TN was my lifeā€™s focus. I ended up going to grad school and becoming a psychologist. My dream career was over. I started with TN when I was 47, now Iā€™m retired. ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦

Not sure if this helps, but Iā€™m a biochemist (also in MA) and second semester into my Masters program back in Feb 2020, I suffered a freak accident where an organic polymer in liquid form somehow (despite wearing safety goggles) got into my left eye and solidified. Didnā€™t damage my cornea, somehow, but contorted the globe and muscles in my face. Have constant severe pain (type 2 TN-like) and double vision, had numerous eye surgeries, but nothing has helped the vision or pain, and Iā€™ve been disabled for four and a half years (out of school and unable to work), and on an array of meds for pain and anxiety.

I had to leave my great career to TN. Had to get disability at 47. It took a long time. Get a disability lawyer!

Wow, I donā€™t know how you were able to work at all with those serious issues & then to end up with TN. Thatā€™s a lot. Your Dr. sounds like heā€™s a real gem.(NOT) I get why you couldnā€™t operate heavy equipment with serious opioids (I think all dr.s think thatā€™s what everyone is after,) I can see why but there must be something else then. At least more time off. Thatā€™s wrong.

I went back to work 1 week after the loss of my eye and diagnosis of TN. I pushed it when I shouldnā€™t have.7 months later I finally caved. I was on leave but to keep the leave my new dr wouldnā€™t sign off and my PCP was fired. Waiting for a new one took months so ya lost it.

I lost 4 jobs over the course of my struggle with TN. The system is not equipped to handle what we got through.
