Secretary before me died of ALS I now have MS and an operator who had bells palsy has eye that goes crazy in the building.
My neurologist said that is too coincidental and I may have to take legal action.
I feel like companies just throw us away when we have these problems but I'm definitely in a sick building

Members rallied around a person with MS who discovered their workplace tested positive for 18 chemical species, with a co-worker who died of ALS and another experiencing neurological symptoms, sparking serious concern about workplace safety. Several members urged immediate steps like pursuing a class action lawsuit, filing for disability, requesting FMLA leave, exploring remote work options, and consulting employment rights attorneys who often offer free initial consultations. A recurring theme was balancing the financial pressure of needing income against the very real health risks of staying in a toxic building, with many encouraging the original poster to advocate fiercely for herself.

Laurie, I wonder if they’d provide a copy of this report at your request? 🤷‍♂️

If they won’t, that is very revealing. An attorney can get one.

The local news tv media may have the opportunity to report this if they are contacted. The company would decline to comment.

They’re probably lawyering up right now! You may need to take legal action! The company will grasp for their own interests, not uour’s!

Having MS and being exposed to that concoction leaves you in the dark.

Laurie, we can only provide advice here. Many attorneys provide an initial free phone and/or office consultation. I’d check into that! *Employment Rights Atty.

Talk to loved ones and pray! I’d rather you wouldn’t go back, but I understand the financial part!

Hello Lori, if you give me the official name of the company. I will do the rest. There may be litigation pending against this company right now. If not, It sounds like there could be. In order for us to deal with this disease, at least from my perspective. We have to be proactive and Feel as though we have the strength and ability to make our own choices. No one knows why each of us are going through this. It sounds like this could be a trigger for you and knowing that and pursuing making something Alright you know it's wrong. This will give you the power to not be depressed and feel like you were fighting. This project you to wherever you have to be. Self-respect is very important in fighting MS. There may be civil complaints pending against this company and you don't know it. Coming in give me the name of the company and the CEO. Will also need the name of the city and state, and county where this would be filed. It's not too hard to check. Have a good night stay tough

@A MyMSTeam Member you should avoid that building at all costs. How long have you worked there? Can you take FMLA leave or file for disability? Do you work a position that can be completed at home? Find a lawyer ASAP!
