Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 The first part of my message is for Bob. I am on a LTD from work. I was very fortunate the the company I worked for helped my get my short and long term disability going. My STD (short term disability not sexually transmitted disease) lasted three months, then I had to wait 3 more months (for a total of 6) and then I was eligible. I made sure I got all of my documentation to them and they were there to take care of me. I don't think it would be different if my first diagnosis was not MS but NS because they based their decision on symptomology not on the diagnosis. Have you ever had a neuropsych testing? That is what did it for me. I had lost my ability to multitask which made me unable to do my job. I am trying to get SSD - I am working through an attorney, but with a possible diagnosis of NS, I am not sure I will get it without a firm diagnosis. Have you thought about contacting the EEOC - can your company give you that kind of trouble without it being discriminatory because of your diagnosis? Also, for the SSD get an attorney - they will be able to work the maze of paperwork. You don't need the stress. The second part is for . Please, please bring this up to your doctor immediately or go to the ER. It is so frightening to read about these things and I am very worried about you. Please let us know how you do. And third, Hello Claire. Glad to have you join us. Tell us about yourself (if you want) so we can get to know you. Lastly, fourth, Rose my geriatric crab, Dr. Claw, died yesterday. I gave him a nice burial at sea, a great prayer and wished him God Speed to the great crabbie pattie in the sky. I guess Nurse Betty is going to have to have a new pal added to the homestead this week. I don't want her to be lonely. I hope everyone takes care of themselves. I feel lucky to be in some kind of remission and I hope others will have the fortune to do so also. Terri G.

Marla Hey guys, Today is the first day I have had a chance to read some posts and see how everyone is doing. Just know that you are all in my prayers and thoughts and hoping you are all well. My niece was in a bad accident last Friday. She has a skull fracture (with a huge laceration), her spleen had to be removed, she has multiple fractured (but stable) vertebraes, road rash, etc. She was taken off the vent yesterday and she immediately started talking. Today is her birthday - and the whole family is going to be here. She requested some Iced Tea today. woohoo. Well, gotta run. There is going to be a big party in her honor in the conference room but she cannot attend. We are taking picture of her. I will be back regular soon. Love to you guys, Terri Love cheap thrills?
