I'm so EXCITED!! I called my case worker (LTD, or long term disability) today, and I told her I just want to get back to work LOL!
She told me my neuro reported to her that I was experiencing 'dizziness and light headedness'. I explained that I connected this to Amitriptyline, and I have since stopped that med and I am no longer experiencing this.
So, she's going to have a rehabilitation person come by at the beginning of October to meet with me, and find out what 'accommodations' I'll need for work. I already know I'm asking for a smaller keyboard (I have such tiny fingers, and the one at work is MASSIVE, and numb fingers don't work well with massive reaching for keys on a keyboard haha!) and may suggest a more 'sensitive' mouse, so I'm moving my right arm less around on my desk.
Going to see as well about shifts. I'll probably need to adjust my Copaxone injection time to one that will be after my shift end time. And I'll definitely need to be on a 'static' shift, meaning... hours that never fluctuate day to day.
I can't wait. I miss my work friends, and they too miss me. Plus I hear there's a back log of work to do. Haha! Least I'll be able to keep busy going back in there
To give you an idea... I went off work in February 2007, and it took me until March 2008 for my MS diagnosis, then until now to get enough Copaxone and stability in my 'everyday' life to be stable with the MS. I relapsed after my initial diagnosis once in May (trying to sell my house, stress is a real killer) and I've been stable or improving since.
I certainly didn't want my 2 year out of work on LTD anniversary to arrive this February. Yikes!
