Know Your Rights! Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Migraine

[@neogeo227]

I don't know if you can get to this question or not. But I had my FMLA approved before but ran out of my 6 month approved time off, so I asked my neurologist to fill out the FMLA paperwork again. I resubmitted everything to HR (I work for the Department of VA) on 8/7/23 for approval. But called out for the condition on 8/10/23 I knew I was still in the process of getting it approved. My supervisor at first was going to allow me to use my remaining SL and AL to cover my full day. I even told him that I would have use FMLA is my request was approved. He knew about the request on the 8/7. But he was over-written by our Chief of the Department and to mark me Leave without pay for 2.5 hours. My final approval from HR was on 8/16/2023, should I request to have everything changed to FMLA-SL and AL? I know they are not suppose to relate against me but my Chief doesn't want me here because of all the time off I have requested because of my condition. I think it was a legal way to hurt me.

If i feel a migraine coming on early, at the first sign, I'll take 3-4 grams of organic kratom. Not that gas station garbage, not a head shop product. But a quality, organic, tested for pesticides and heavy metals kratom and I'll feel the migraine blow over or change course. I describe it as watching a storm coming in and then passing me by. If I'm to late then yeah, my vision gets starry and i find a quiet place and hope to die. But catch it early enough and kratom is a miracle. It's a leaf. It's not bad for you. 3-4 grams of leaf powder for men 1-2 grams for women. Take to much and you'll wish you didn't. Less is more. Too much makes you stomach sick. I'd recommend where i get mine but then you'd think I'm just trying to sell you stuff and i want you to get the relief i get. I won't tarnish my recommendations with what you may construe as a sales pitch. Good luck
