But keep in mind, intentionally witholding medical information can also get you fired

Inmate, that's what I was afraid of. I have medical records dating back to 1972 stating I have migraines. It also show all the tests I have had done that show NO ABNORMALITIES, they are stress induced and have lessened over time as I learn to deal with stress better. One or two headaches a year for the last 5 years. To get rid of one I stand under a HOT shower for about 20 minutes, the hot water helps the blood vessels dilate, a few aspirin (thins the blood) and laying still in a dark room for 1/2 hour and I'm good to go. My headaches are always at the back of my head caused buy the blood vessels restricting because of stress or sometimes just sleeping in the wrong position.

What the Schneider "medical" person said was that the migraine symptoms I have are "possibly neurological". Light sensitivity, seeing an "aura", nausea, feeling weak, these are all COMMON migraine symptoms and the reason I have had all these tests done is to rule out neurological problems. My father and grandfather both had these headaches and my Dad drove a truck for over 30 years. It isn't rocket science to not get behind the wheel until you've dealt with it! In my case an hour or two, I know how to deal with them. She never gave me a chance to explain ANY of this, she told me I was disqualified and hung up on me!
