If you're in an at-will state, and you aren't an employee with
a contract which governs how leave is taken, yes.

If you have a chronic illness, have been at your employer for
at least one year, and if the employer is required to offer
FMLA, you may want to consider filing for intermittent FMLA.
It may help protect your position if you haven't already lost
it. If you have already lost it, you can't apply for this
retroactively.
