I've been in an extended flare, had steroid injections in my facet joints and the medical dr. At my job is not ready to let me come back to work. I've been off work approximately 2 months.

Has any one had any issues with employers not accommodating to your situation? I got hired on a part time job that would other wise be perfect for me however they have a strict rule that employees are not allowed to sit at all. I asked if it would be okay if I sat every once and a while if the situation were appropriate and they said no, they actually write people up for sitting down. I've only worked 2 days (4 hours) a day and I'm in a lot of pain. During my interview, I told them about my disa

Just got approved for disability and it only took two and a half months! Didn't even require independent doctors exam! I've got to bring my rheumatologist a thank you present because what made the difference was his promptness in responding to the requests for info. Any one who wants advice on how to do it, post me a question?

For those still working - anyone else have a boss who is intolerant of your disability almost to the point of discrimination? I wish this guy would put in writing the things he says verbally, but no such luck. He tells me that I suck every single day. Even with my disability I am a strong performer, but this guy just has it out for me. I'm interviewing elsewhere but in the meantime I have Spondy pain AND have to suffer this jerk. Any suggestions for surviving this negativity?

I'm going back to work tomorrow after two months off from what I presume was and still is my first major flare. My doc and I just randomly picked that date presuming I'd be 'better' by now. I am fortunate that I have the sick leave I do. I could easily take a few more weeks off, but I feel too guilty. With anti-inflammatories I am functioning okay around the house. Still pain, but manageable. For those of you still able to work, do you struggle with the guilt when you take sick leave?

Not so much of a qustion, but I have my hearing today for disability, I hurt so bad I don't even feel like going. I don't like to wish ill on anyone. Sometimes I wish the people that have been hired to judge people like us would have a week of the pain that we have almost every day of our lives?

My question today is this: If I can show that my job caused or exacerbates my condition, I'm entitled to compensation. I know the disease is of 'unknown etimology', but I am convinced that my onset of symptoms came because of some intense pressure going on at work. I'm in law enforcement and while stress is usual, this was somewhat extreme. Anyone have credible sources/links showing a connection between symptoms and stress triggers? Thanks
