Many of us are working at least part time while dealing with all the issues we have. For many of us it takes our minds off some of the pain and issues, but when work becomes a battle ground life becomes much more difficult.
What you should know is that stenosis is recognized by the ADA. You are allowed to request reasonable accommodations at work. If you are punished after making your needs known you need to be prepared to fight for yourself and the rest of the invisible disability sufferers around you.
These links can help you get started. Employment law is a crazy thing. Make sure that you CYA (cover your ass) at all times. If you see blatant favoritism or see that you’re being held to a higher standard than your non-disabled co-workers, take photos, if phones are not allowed at work get co-workers to write letters backing your allegations up. If you have emails that show clear differences send those to your home email address. Sending them from a work email address to your home email address creates an electronic paper trail and time stamp. Documentation is key if you need to fight for your job and holding your own in any discussion is mandatory. Write to AskJAN, they will answer you.
