Lyme Disease Is A Disability Entitled To Protection In The Workplace- article describing above case

In Cook v. Gregory Press, Inc., the disease required treatment as well as medical testing that caused severe headaches, both of which affected the employee’s ability to work. The employee requested time off from work, but was not provided sufficient time to recover so that he could properly resume his work duties. He was required to return to work prematurely, which resulted in a failure in his work performance. He was then fired.
