It happened 2 days after I returned from disability. Like, you, I was sure it was an HR no-no, but did not take action. I'd made so many worthwhile contacts through that job that I decided to stay 'friendly' so I could leverage those contacts instead of alienating them. I'm glad you found something you could do from home. In the chapter in our book about self-employment as an option for women with AD I wrote about one of my clients, also a musician, who started her own teaching business after being in bed for 18 months. She was relieved to realize she did not have to get a job and that should could support herself, and her 2 children. Sometimes, we are fired- by our bodies or our bosses - and it's good to know we have alternatives. Thanks for sharing your inspiring story. Joan Carla, I too was canned one year, back in 1995.

Most people look at people with chronic illness and think - "Oh she doesn't WANT to work - she's lazy/unmotivated - whatever" But in fact, it's more often the work place - the environment or boss or job itself - that makes working so very difficult.

I got canned for being sick. i figured i probably could have sued them for that, but it's not my way. and anyway i was still living in denial as my kidneys went about their failing and every other part of my body fell apart (lupus). i decided to work for myself in 1994 (less than a year after getting the boot), so that i could control my own schedule. i am a musician, so that works. i realize not everyone has those options. SO i'm really happy to see folks addressing this. most of us really do want to work, and will sabotage our health in trying. thanks for helping. Hey that is really awesome!
