fired due to illness (1)
I have suffered from migraines for all of my adult life. Doctors have, at times, controlled them with medications, but after a period of time, they stop working. This happened again this year, about 6 months after I started my job. I was missing about 1 day a month. My boss was not happy, but worked with me. He hired s part time worker to help out. Or so he said. At this time, my medications were being changed a lot and my migraines have been really bad for the past month or so. Well, for the past three weeks, I missed one day a week, but our new person was there. As it turns out, she was my replacement!! I was fired this week. I am on several medications and bound to have to try more until we figure out what helps. I do not have insurance and now we have only my husband's income. This will help us out tremendously. I already comparison shop for my meds and even only get a small supply on new ones until I see if it will work or if I can take it. I have in the past had to throw out almost full prescriptions because I was allergic or they just didn't help. Thank you for starting this program. I know there are so many of us with out health insurance.
