FMLA no because it's unpaid leave.

I actually was just having to navigate that/short term disability as I'm coming off missing about 3.5 weeks from an extended period of extreme unpleasantness that ended in me getting my gallbladder 86'ed last week.

ADA potentially but a lot of my stuff basically boils down to "being out of the house and active is both physically and mentally draining and more likely to get me sick with some random thing". So the reasonable accommodation is basically remote work (I'm a software dev, which is about as remote-friendly a career as it gets).

FMLA also has a twelve week limit, and for "highly compensated" employees (a lot of software devs in the US would qualify) you can lose the right to return to the same, or equivalent, position as when you left.
