About wildlandtech

I'm an outdoor person and work with the florida wildlife commission, often operating heavy equipment. I often assist with prescribed fire and sometimes as a wildland firefighter. I'm not married and have no chrildren, so I live by myself and had to depend on my mother/father to help me after being released from the hospital and for several weeks after. I also have a friend, Gayle, who also has M.S. and she has become my Gardien Angel. We "speak" via the internet and I consider her my "Best-est Friend" though we have never met in person.

More About wildlandtech

it has been awhile since my last update and it is now May 2010. My M.S. is still im remission and I have had no problems. The problems I am having now are emotional and I am now taking Lexapro for depression and Lorazepam for anxiety. The depression and anixety are starting to effect my daily life and my job. On top of this I was handed my termination papers from work, due to a list of reasons which my supervizor had complied since my return to work in November of 2008. They listed several reasons - poor and sloppy work, bad attiude, carelessness, etc. this has been going on since January of 2009. I can only believe they never wanted me to return and were looking for away to terminate me, I have tryed to tell them M.S. isn't somethime that you can turn off at will and there are side effects, but it has done no good. I'm at the point that I will have to hire a lawyer if I want to keep my job, and my medical insurance. Like so many others without it I can't afford my medications. Has anyone else had a simular experience and what should I do?
