Title: Just Got Back From Doctor...
Post by Superirish2005 on Aug 24^th, 2006, 2:30pm

after having a cluster last night and then this morning went to doctor.

He gave me another perscription of Maxalt and three refills. he also filled out my FMLA paperwork allowing me 24 hours per week or 15 days per month of time off for the clusters.

Is that paid time away from work, or just an excuse for 15 days if you need to take them? How about asking for cafergot and verapamil? Worked wonders for me.. Hope all goes well for ya!

Nope unpaid time up to 15 days a month but covers me so I cannot lose my job for excessive time off.

I am in customer service in a small group of about 10 csr's.
