That sucks!

Does it have any thing to do with clusters? If yes, there may be some steps that can be taken to protect you due to it being a medical condition. But, I'm not a doctor or a lawyer so I can't say for sure.

If the demotion is because of your clusters, I suspect that you will have protection under the Americans with Disabilities act. Start with your state's labor department to find out what protections you have. You don't have to invest in a lawyer yet: the state government may be able to intervene for you.

Hi Cey,
I'm sorry I can't help you with the employment thing but if you can describe your CH situation you should be able to get some help with that.
If you can reduce the CH problem, the employment problem may take care of itself.
