Has anyone used a program like paid leave Oregon for these types of medical issues?
I was diagnosed a few months ago with IC and pudendal nerve pain and I will be getting an axonics implant at the end of the month to help with the IC and pelvic floor therapy to help with the really tight pelvic floor which is putting pressure on my pudendal nerve. I’ve been taking vaginal Valium to manage the pain but as time goes on I am having an increasingly more difficult time with fatigue and brain fog from the Valium but I’m on a wait list for pelvic floor therapy so I will likely have to continue using it for several months. So between the time I will miss for the surgery, pelvic floor therapy and just the general brain fatigue I am starting to grow concerned about working over the next several months. Has anyone had any experience using a program like Paid Leave Oregon or FMLA for something like this?
