I understand that risk. People have gotten sick and placed on steroids before and they were restricted for the time they were on the meds.
I feel they are taking me out of the situation prematurely and unnecessarily. I'm quite sure being on Copaxone isn't suppressing my immune system like they say.
It's plenty of areas to work in but I don't know how restrictive they are going to be. For example, I work in the production area, but I don't know if the lab areas are as strict. =\.
Aw GG,
So sorry you have to deal with this. If I remember correctly, you were initially concerned when dx'd about the live virus. If the doc has no problem with it, and you do not, then surely they must resolve the initial actions.
Now on the bigger hand, it is not within their rights or duties to treat you differently, or "restrict" you from good work. It's unethical at least, and in some cases discriminatory.
I hope the docs note solves the problem and you can move forward without any problems. Stay diligent on this as you are, and let us know how it goes!

It sounds like your work is following due diligence to protect their employees. I would not feel bad about it (like they are treating you different because of a disability). Say, for example, you happen to go on steroids because you have a relapse, you would not be able to work there because you could get very sick from a tiny exposure.
Let's see what happens with the placement. I will keep my fingers crossed and pray you find an a job you like just as much :)
