I need some advice~might be a little long for some~sorry

[Guest guest]

ok, I believe i posted this to my other fibro group and dident recieve

any responce, if it was here Im sorry for reposting. I have to give a

little history. I am married and disabeled with 4 young kids ages 8,

6, 5, and 10 months. I dont drive unless i have too and only in town.

so when I have to go to the doctor my husband has to drive me because

my doc is an hour away. I dont drive because it causes extream pain and

panic attacks among many other thing Im sure you all understand.

Ok, heres the problem, My husband had to miss a signifigant amount of

work due to my illness and appointments. some days i cant get out of

bed to care for myself let alone the kids.There for he has had to miss

work. Now, they are threateng his job due to absenteesim because of

me. So he was told to apply for FMLA (family medical leave act) He

could get it itermittendt so it would cover any time he would have to

miss because of me, as long as its a documented medical condition. it

would cover up to 12 weeks a year. i know my doctor will sign the

papers, hes the one who pushed for my disability. my question is does

anyone have any experiance with the FMLA, OR advice or anything, i need

something. i dont know how any of this works. also, please excuse my

spelling i never could spell even before the fibro. Take care ~~
