fibromyalgia and CFS come under the EqualityAct 2010 as they are long term conditions that affect your day to day activities you don't say whether yr employer is aware of this but if they are you can ask them to make reasonable adjustments one of these could be that any sickness related to these conditions is not counted with regular sickness eg flu or tonsillitis. Under this act you should not face any disciplinary action, bullying or intimidation for needing extra sick days.

Thanks for your reply, yes work are aware and have been good so far but I get the feeling they are starting to get fed up with me having time off. Work have a letter from my doctor asking for their understanding so I guess I don't really need to do anything unless I get disciplinary action for my time off??
