My first...I agree that we need to know our rights. My first symptom was fainting spells. I didn't realize that I was fainting, I thought I was just falling. That set me up for a 2 year journey of trying to determine what was wrong with me, because I had injured myself seriously with the falls. My boss at the time, I was a middle school teacher, was very rude and told me that I needed to "quit falling on the floor." We had tile floors, so believe me, it wasn't an "on-purpose". She started writing me up for everything. I didn't know I could stand up for myself and that I had legal rights. I wish I knew what I know now.

I have been considering going back to work, but very worried about what to even do, how to go about doing it, but most of all, afraid to lose my benefits and insurance. I'm so glad I read this! I know my first step is to actually go to my local disability office and ask for help on how to return to work. You're inspiring! I'm so glad you've been able to teach, and I hope you can continue to do so for a long time! :)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619732913623023461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528375130116935800.post-1253333415455066572013-05-24T22:15:49.010-07:002013-05-24T22:15:49.010-07:00I believe that knowing our rights and fighting for...I believe that knowing our rights and fighting for them are paramount. Employers will abuse the system, and potential employers will do their best to ignore our rights.
