I can’t work overnights anymore, or I could end up in the hospital; work is saying I have to find coverage for the next 3 weeks

So, my chronic health condition has fired it's warning shot. And now I can no longer work overnights, or I may end up in the hospital. But my manager won't change anything, for any schedules already posted. So if I don't find someone to cover all my shifts for the next 3 weeks, I'll be fired for too many attendance points. And I'll also have no income, for the rest of the month. I'm literally in the process of moving, as my landlord is not renewing my lease and I have to be out by the end of the month. But, unless my shifts are switched, I'm completely fucked. I can't get a doctor's note until tomorrow. And it's not like I didn't try to get one before.

So, my chronic health condition has fired it's warning shot. And now I can no longer work overnights, or I may end up in the hospital. But my manager won't change anything, for any schedules already posted. So if I don't find someone to cover all my shifts for the next 3 weeks, I'll be fired for too many attendance points. And I'll also have no income, for the rest of the month. I'm literally in the process of moving, as my landlord is not renewing my lease and I have to be out by the end of the month.

But, unless my shifts are switched, I'm completely fucked.

I can't get a doctor's note until tomorrow. And it's not like I didn't try to get one before. I know my illness, and I know this is a note a doctor would write in a heartbeat. But admin at the doctor's office is honestly being straight up lazy. First time they tried to write a different note, it was straight up weaponized incompetence- stating my diagnoses outright. This time, they said no, when all anyone had written down was that the need for this was due to “interruptions.” Didn't bother to ask more questions or anything.

Then they literally whined “can't you come back for the note, once you get rejected?”

That was 2 weeks ago, and now here we are.

I have no idea what to do now. I have no one to fall back on. I'm scared.
