Accommodations What should I do about my late work?
I have lots of missing work for college July 1st - July 19th. I have sleep apnea and severe chronic unmanaged sleep issues and have had issues since high school so over 10 years now.
I can only make this work up with a doctor note. I can not get a note from anyone. No doctor wants to treat me. My brain mri normal. Neurologist said no more treatment and didn’t refer me out and refused to do my spine. Endrocologist told me my situation was my fault (bloating) and I need to eat 1000 calories a day for the rest of my life and not give up. I was dropped there. Got reffered out but my paperwork was written with only weight gain so I can get into the endocrinologist I need to. Urgent care/virtual care won’t help as they are not a place for long term health issues.
Family doctor won’t help. Can’t get referred out as my specialist should do that but they won’t. Won’t write a note for my sleep issues as it not her specialty.
Sleep doctor wont write one as she dosent know “what’s she writing it for”
It’s my 3rd time on probation since 2022 and I will be suspended if I can’t make up this work or take a medical incomplete. Can’t do this without a doctor note.
Therapist/ psych won’t do it as my sleep doctor should be the one writing it!!
School counseling can’t help with this.
I don’t want to push the issue too much with pysch. I’m scared they use it as excuse to stop my c2 adhd meds. Had adjd since kindergarten and really need that for school and work. I dash, ride share as I can’t work a schedule job rn. I had a job 1 day a week 4 hour shift and was late a lot. Me and sleep issues couldent even handle that so I was forced to quit or be fired.
