[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1309036, member: 6408"] First of all, take care of YOURSELF. Do whatever it takes to live a life as close to normal as you can and take care of your family. Listen to the Docs. Get documentation of every visit and every condition you have, that is, get Doctors notes. That's the only advice I can give due to my not having these issues or knowing anyone that does. BUT, I do know it exists and can be deadly. NOW, unfortunately, UPS, in general, is very unforgiving when it comes to ANY illness, whether it be mental or physical. As you gain more seniority you will see this. Exam: You call in sick, you will be asked why. IF you tell them why, you will get diagnosed on the spot. THEN when diagnosed, you will be given a cure. That cure is "GET IN HERE NOW" . Now, don't dis me on this and say that UPS is so caring. I said, "in general". Not every center, hub, district is that way. UPS is a business and the people behind the desk/phone/computer are in the business of running a business and are taught to run that business no matter what it takes. So, IN GENERAL, those people really don't care what your issue is. If it wasn't for Acts like FMLA and other Federally mandated laws, there would be NO protection for a case like yours. Again, I sympathize with you and wish you the best but just beware that you WILL run into flak from the company. If not, I applaud you and your management personnel. [/QUOTE]
