Job Interview

Ok everyone so I am kinda looking for a job. Not really sure if I will even be able to do this but I need to try. Currently on unemployment and have no insurance. My question for everyone is I was let go from last job because my STD was denied and FMLA ran out. How do I answer questions about what happened at last job? And also questions regarding how this will affect current job? I am not sure how to answer this when asked. To let you guys know I currently have daily headaches, numbness in mouth, sometimes in hands and arms. Dizziness
Thanks for your help

Not been able to have another MRI without the steroids to see what shows up. I was told not surgical candidate needed to be treated medically. Topamax and Fioricet have helped some, but NL I was seeing does not want me on Fioricet. ( that is what NS had given me).  My last job fired me because they did not give me a chance to come back and I was waiting for STD to be approved and did not realize FMLA was running at same time. ( my fault) I would have tried to go back to work

  Hi Missy, did u have surgery yet?

U do not have to say y u left u last job....if it was a medical reason, there is HIPPA that protects u....

If u were awarded unemployment then ur employer had no right to let u go....otherwise u would not have gotten it....

I do not understand y ur STD was denied...but I have no idea why my LTD was either....

Just read on ur profile that u were termed bcuz u could not return to work bcuz of how u feel....so that brings us back to ur statement of not knowing how u r going to do this...

Have u been to a Chiari specialist?
