Good Afternoon;

After my boyfriend was stabbed about 2 years ago, he's had real bad seizures - they have been lasting over 3 to 5 minutes. Even though he has seizures, because he can work, he can not go on SSI - even though his seizures are now considered deadly because they are over 4 minutes.

What causes his seizures are lack of sleep, stress, and caffeine. However, because his job makes him work crazy hours throughout the week (from 10:00pm to 6:00am then the same day return to work from 2:00pm to 10:00pm – then goes back to work the following morning from 6:00am to 2:00pm then the same day from 10:00pm to 6:00am); he is not getting his proper sleep and he also has to drink energy drinks (caffeine) to keep himself awake to work (he travels 2 hrs on the bus to and from work each way).

He does not have any insurance and he can't get any government medical help because they claim he makes $300.00 over the approved amount (he works at a service station). He not only can't afford any medical help at this time due to over $16,000 of medical bills that he's almost finished paying, but he currently can’t afford to see a doctor nor any funds for his medications, too.

His job is aware of his seizures, but because he has to have some kind of form filled out by a doctor and a government agency that shows that he has seizures, he has to go to fulfill the manager’s work schedule – she is not a nice person, whatsoever and doesn’t care for anyone – even has yelling arguments with customers and takes money from employees checks. The police has even been called on her by customers, too. So we’re not dealing with someone who has any compassion, whatsoever.

And even though he had a seizure like this morning and two hours before he went to work, he fears calling his job not being able to work and needing proper rest because they can legally fire him and he would not have any repercussion of his medical situation because the proper forms are not filled out.

The problem is, no one is telling him where he’s suppose to locate these so-called forms from. Further, when his schedule was from 6:00am to 2:00pm and getting his proper rest for a month, he did not get any seizures. But because his manager changed his schedule again, he has had more constant seizures.

Please help him any way that you can – he needs immediate help!

Thank you!
