can I be fired from my job after I tell them I have been diagnosed with COPD (it is not job related)

Thx for the advice,

I had problems related to sitting at my computer, using bad "ergonomics". A Vascular doc in Denver prescribed that I see an Occupational Therapist, who is helping me with my "work-station ergonomics", and who does Feldenkrais work, to help undo some of the early symptoms of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, that the Vascular doc said I was getting, from the "bad ergonomics".

Here are a few things that are helping me:

1) I sit with feet flat on floor, and knees slightly lower than hips.
2) I got magnifier clip-ons for my bifocal glasses, to prevent neck craning, while looking at the monitor.
3) I sit in an office chair that allows me to look slightly down, rather than up, at my monitor
4) I put the keyboard on my lap, with a resulting slight "negative tilt".

If you'd like to compare notes, my email is ***@****

Sincerely,
Carol
