In La. I rec'd report from IME two weeks ago. Diagnosis is cervical strain with myofascial pain syndrone. I had FCE and Nerve conducting studies done. I posted everything earlier. The report was incomplete. Only issue that was mention was of concern for ins.co. Last week my lawyer told me that my employer didn't want me back due to that I'm an liability to them.And possibility of settlement in the near future. Now the ins.co. lawyer sent the incomplete to Voc. Rehab. who inturn will be talking to employer about an possible position within restriction. No talk of nerve tests done. No talk of back pay. No talk of restart of payment. My lawyer told me yesterday to call my doctor today to see about setting up an appointment.I called this morning, spoke with her assistant, she called back and told me the ins. co. denied the request. The IME report stated that my injury was the result of my job. What must I do to restart my benefits? I can't deal with this type of treatment today. My mental illness is about to kickin real heavy right about now. Once I pass a certain point, it takes a long time to recover mentally. sometimes it becomes violent. I don't want to become that person that I have worked so hard to not become anymore. They don't realize or don't care as to what is or what has happen to me since being in this crap. I have set an app. up to see my phsych tomorrow.Hope that I can make it without any episode. Thanks for letting me share this with you all.Izell.

My man, You need help. Talk with your Pych. tomorrow. You cannot allow WC to destroy your life.
Almost everyone involved with a WC Claim are sorely disappointed with the outcome.
Remember, WC is there to get you back to MMI and work ready at whatever work classification you fall in. WC is not worried about getting you back to pre-injury status.
The biggest thing now is to not go back to the past; look to your future.
Please see your doctor tomorrow!
It is easy to see the depression from the the words you write.
I also have cervical myofascial pain syndrone and it is very painful, with this type of pain comes the depression and lots of sleepless nights.
Of course the insurance company is going to say they are not responsible!
Your attorney needs to file an appeal!
I agree with the rest above. Please see your doctor right away and being on WC can cause alot of depression. I have had IME's done and read the reports that come back and there is doctors that are mentioned that I never saw, words of obese, drug addict etc. that get me so upset because if anything I have gone to a new doctor now to get me off of narcotics that I was on that I did not like being on cause they were not working.
There are people that would of loved being on the narcotics I was taking and would never of gave those medications up. I did. Now is that someone that is a drug addict and needs to go to rehab? They love to pay doctors to lie for them just to get out of paying for things. Mine was to get out of paying for a SCS.
Remember that WC will do anything and even say very hurtful things just to not pay you or pay for tests that cost alot of money. Keep getting the phyc. help you are getting and mention to him/her what is happening with you so that they can address the problem early on. Are you on any type of anti-depressants?
You may also want to mention to the doctor how your temper gets when you hear these things as there is medication they may be able to prescribe to help with the anxiety issues. Good luck and remember we are here for you and to come on here and type out your frustrations before you do anything else that may cause injury to you or someone else. : )
Thanks you for the response. Went to appt. w/psych. this morning. Had a good session. Mentioned everything that's going on. He saw that it was necessary to increase dosage of Zoloft,and Seroquel. He referred my case to Housing Assistance within OMH. The recovery program where I lived has an contract with the State to help pay rent for people with mental illness and an addiction issue. I'm at 2yrs.10mths. in the program. And still, I do have those thoughts of using. I overcome those moments by askings my Higher Power for the Serentity that I so desperate need. For today, He has granted me what I ask of Him. I believe and trust in Him. He made it possible for me to come across this site. I thank everyone for being here.I get so tired, sometimes. I go back again in 2weeks. About to contact lawyer,to find out what he is doing to get benefits started again. Will get back soon. Thanks again. Izell. In La.
Wishing you all the best.....I am so glad you had a good session today. Faith in God will keep you strong. God bless.
I also believe you must start believing in yourself. When you are down do not kick yourself. This life is full of obstacles.
Believe in yourself. You do not want to stay in your current mindset and you have to help yourself here.
I have never found the 1st drug that helped me with depression or High Anxiety moments.
In the past,(just barely 40 years of age at the time) I have tried zoloft,paxil, effexor,wellibutrin Geodon,Buspar etc, with little or no success.
The only successful accomplishment from these drugs were they destroyeed my sex life. Paxil would work well for a 20 year old man who well .......
I went to a pyschologist then a physchatrist without any results.
I finally made up my mind that I would not let anything so ridiculous steal my joy muchless my life.
I have so much to be thankful for and so do you.
Keep the Faith and have faith in the inner man.
Congratulations on Your Time without Using, it's a Great Milestone in itself. I Mentioned the Serenity Prayer in another Thread, and it Sounds as if You Use it as I do in my Daily Life. I have Dealt with Substance Abuse in the Past, and still do Daily. Stay Strong, Believe in Yourself, and the Good Lord, and Remember, There is Only so Much We can Control. I Hope and Pray for the Very best for You!!
Still said everything that I was thinking and feeling. Please remember you will be in our prayers at 9PM every night.
Thanks everyone. I really believe in God. Last nite I called my Mother. Which I do everyday or ev-other. Out the blues,she informed me that she want Power-of-Attorney. She feel that I have become unable to deal with w/c. That they are not being straight forward with me. Who knows me better than Her. I did not object. In a way, I'm happy. I did not say to her beforehand, that I needed,or wanted Her help that way. Thanks for being here. Izell. In La.
