Question:

Miranda M

Hello, I am thankful to be here. I was diagnosed a few months ago after being sick with what the doctors said was a viral cold that would return frequently. I work part-time outside the home normally yet haven't been able to return mainly out of fear for the work environmental conditions: dust, fumes, fear of getting sick AGAIN and I tire easier than usual. I will be going to my first pulmonologist appointment in a few weeks, I have been waiting for a month. What can I say or do regarding my employer? I want to work but can't work that long of a shift and with the dirty environment of a car repair shop I am not sure I can safely clean and use my nebulizer. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
