Does Anyone Get Work Accommodations?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Pittsburgh, PA

I'm applying for work accommodations due to my work not wanting to give me off for neurology and psychiatric appointments and am trying to think if there are any other ones that would be worth asking for because I don't want to have to go through this twice. Does anyone else get work accommodations for their epilepsy if so what did you ask for?

I am always able to get off work for my doctors appointments. If something happens to me at work they have me sit down and wait for my husband or sister to come to get me. I cannot drive at all. I work as a cashier. I also wear a medical bracelet which also has the information on it.

I applied for FLMA thru my human resource so that my time is off for doctor appointment is protective. also there is no discussion about my FLMA because it is private health information

I got any time off due to my Epilepsy appointments or seizures. I even had to be with someone always. It depends on your doctor too.
