That shouldn't keep you from finding another job. Don't use that company as a job reference but make sure you have a good answer if asked why you left that job during an interview.

It sucks to get fired for attendance issues, considering the nature of your particular issues. However, to a business, the needs of the business come first. It is why they have attendance policies, and they are typically not up for negotiation.
However, as Julian said, its most likely not the write ups preventing you from getting a job. If you want to use the company as a reference, reach out to a former co-worker or a team lead who you believe will give you a good reference. Use them as a personal reference instead of using HR who may be telling prospective employers that you are ineligible for rehire. Or, don't use them as a reference.
