Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

Employer angry about medical issue
I am the unhappy genetic recipient of a rare form of Cluster Headache. I can be fine for many months at a time, but an attack can last for months too and they can be near disabling at the peak.
The second week of an attack, I knew I had a problem starting and informed my employer of the situation (they knew it had been an issue in the past when they hired me, I was very upfront about it).
Over the last month they will not work with me to reduce my workload (though they say they did reduce it, but as a ''punishment'', not to help me)or adjust time limitations that the entire dept needs. Recently they have been outright hostile that I took days off for an inpatient treatment that did not ''cure me''.
I've now recieved a formal warning with circumstances that are not true, with a warning to ''sign it or we'll sign it for you''. I'm not being allowed to add an explanation to it, so I'm signing nothing, should I be calling a lawyer instead?

Re: Employer angry about medical issue

You asked about a situation that may fall under the Americans with Disabilities Act or the Family Medical Leave Act.

You must speak with an attorney promptly to enforce and protect your rights.
