roralea,

I am sorry you are in that situation.

1.) The Wk. Comp. carrier is obligated to help you find a care giver for you - not just a work comp doc to oversee your care for them. That is to say, an independent doctor to care for your needs, separate from their Wk. Comp. doctor - demand it. That doctor is your doctor, not theirs, he will care for you, and gatekeep what is occurring with your care, independent of their direction - making decisions with you, to recommend your needs; then get approvals to have those needs met.

If they do not wish to assist you in that matter, then you are free to obtain your own Neurologist, submit his name for approval of coverage for care to the Insurer, and he will direct your care.

These are the practical paths to use; without lawyers involved; or you can get lawyers involved and it should then transpire that way. You should always have an independent Physician (Neurologist or Physiatrist) acting on your behalf in all care-giving for your problem, acting as the gatekeeper for your issues.

2.) No Wk. Comp. doctor will ever agree that the injury at work caused your problems........ period...... they are on the Insurer's payroll.... they are paid to get you back to work; and not find anything, or find the least problem associated with the work injury as a cause of your problems.

You can try to use a Neurologist or Physiatrist within Kaiser, or talk to the Wk. Comp. Insurer (through your company's employee health department/ HR dept. - if they have one dealing with this to arrange them helping you find an independent Physician for your care, not their Wk. Comp. 'doc' ) - it is your privilege - call the Work Comp. Commission to verify such.

History will support it - you will eventually need to process complete Work Comp. Claims and ride out the entire process to receive quite a bit of support.

Your symptoms, complaints noted are all related to Concussive injuries and PCS - that Wk. Comp. 'doc' is wrong - and most likely not well informed regarding mTBI (concussion) and PCS. As well as their statement of 'anxiety' - well thats possibly present too, since its also possible in the post-concussive stages of mTBI, but she missed the mark why.

Please read the link on Supplements by MarkofIdaho, begin refreshing your system; REST as much as possible still; try to get more outside Medical support of an appropriate nature.

Don't be afraid to look into Legal help.

Best Wishes..............
