Do you know which injury report you completed? A DWC-1 or DWC-7? That will let us know if your employer has opted out of workers comp. If your employer does have workers comp insurance, an employee in Texas can generally select their own physician. HOWEVER, if your employer participates in a workers compensation health care network certified by the Texas Department of Insurance, then you will have to select a “treating doctor” from the network’s list of participating health providers. That sounds like your situation.

Yes, I can feel myself being bit and later, I can see the marks as to where I have been bit. Its very frustrating and scary to find new bites in the strangiest places. Initially they were just on my ankles calves, etc. But now they are on my neck, lower stomach, inside of thighs, buttocks, elbows, knees, EVERYWHERE.

I have to go to one of their doctors.

Does anyone know what I should expect when going to this doctor. I am aware that most often, in these types of cases, they get misdiagnosed. Or dr.s just believe its all in your head.

The bottom line is, getting rid of the problem altogether, not just getting treated for it. I have allergies, and have developed other symptoms as a result of this. Some nights of afraid to go to sleep because the acid reflux is so bad and feel like I may choke in my sleep. Other nights I lay in bed and feel like i am lying in a pool of bugs. Im dizzy, lightheaded, anemic, and have high blood pressure all rolled into one.

Whats the point of getting treated if the root cause is not being properly handled? Its like daily torture, that I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy.
