Fmla Denied, Company Thinks My Condition Is Not That Serious Posted: 07-27-06 22:25pm
I applied for fmla at work but was denied.
They think i'm just taking off work to
have fun. It's really stressin me out
because they think i'm lying to them and
they said I look fine. I was diagnosed
2yrs ago. I have sle and lupus
nephritis with rheumatoid arthritis,
hypertension. I would have flare ups
every now and then. With pain and
fatigue, sometimes it's really hard to
make it to work :( should I appeal my
fmla? My condition is chronic and lupus
can flare up anytime. Please help me
guys..I don't know what to do anymore :(

I didn't think a company could deny fmla.
If you have your doctors support, I would
think the hr department of your company
would have to grant you the time off. I
thought fmla was a federal law and
compliance with it was required nation
wide. Definitely appeal that decision.
Also, lupus is a disability (ada) and
examples of job accomodations are posted
on the web. They include flexable work
times, etc.
Good luck to you, I hope you get the time
off you need.

Iwas dianosed in 1998 with ststemic lupus
I understand what you're going threw. If
you have your doctors behind you by all
means you fight it . I ended up having to
guit after my lupus systoms became more
than I could stand my emplorer pushed me
hard.I believe if we don"t fight for our
rights we will eventually be pushed out
every were we didn"t ask for this iwill be
praying for you.
