Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

I was terminated from my job while seeking medical help for a condition that was keeping me from working beyond the 12 week FMLA time frame. It would only have been a couple weeks beyond. A co-worker (in the same dept) who was out 15 weeks also for a medical condition around the same time I was out was not fired, but allowed the time off and was able to return. Do I have any legal recourse?

You might, feel free to contact my office. There is some new EEOC authority for the proposition that extending FMLA by a couple of weeks can be an accommodation under the ADA.
