Hi Vicc, sorry I wasn't here sooner to respond. As you read in that other post, I am going to embark on a human growth hormone therapy for "wasting". I have the same issues you do. You might want to speak to your dr.s about this... it is called Serostim in my case, but that's mainly for aids patients, I think. There are many different types they could try, I'm sure. Or you could wait and see how good or bad it is for me, lol.

Mine was a WC too. It took 7 years to resolve, and only did so because I fired my umpteenth lawyer and went Pro-Per. I was mad enough and determined enough to get the job done quickly. You are absolutely right, the lawyers and insurance co. try to wait you out, knowing most people end up giving up out of frustration.

In Ca. at that time, I had no choice but to use a court-appointed WC lawyer. The law was also that the max Ca. would allow the lawyers to claim as pay was 8 percent. No lawyer worth their salt would work for that fee. Then they made it possible for the clients to pay an additional 6%, making a grand total of 14... whoopee.

I'm sure, if getting a better attorney had been an option, that I would have gotten much more. But for a layman to get $400,000 in medical (paid directly to the dr.s, sheesh) and $30k in pain and suffering stuff. Not much, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

I took that money and spent it on the best couple of years of my life I bought an r.v. and Michael and I traveled through some of the most beautiful country in America. Spent a long time in Mexico, too... Baja Ca. I experienced some wonderful magical events in those times, memories I will treasure forever.

It sounds to me like you are going to do much better than I. I pray it is so. Just make sure you do something for yourself and your wife to bring back a little joy in life.

Really, check into those HGH's for your weight issues. I hear the benefits will outweigh the side effects
