FUMS 54 – Autoimmune Disease IS a Legal Disability - with Holly Bertone
Has living with MS disrupted your ability to work? If the answer is "HELL YES" then you have to listen to this episode!
Holly Bertone was diagnosed with breast cancer on her 39th birthday! After taking time out from her career to recover, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disorder that shares some symptoms with MS, most notably chronic fatigue and joint pain.
When she had a Hashimoto’s flare-up, her employer at the time illegally rescinded her FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) allowance of unpaid leave. After looking all over for information about her rights, she compiled everything she found into an Amazon best-selling book, Thriving in the Workplace with Autoimmune Disease: Know Your Rights, Resolve Conflict, and Reduce Stress.
Aside from her amazing story, Holly also gives some tips that could help YOU navigate the workplace with Multiple Sclerosis.
