Smile Hang in There!

I,too, have a WC case. I have been "dealing" with the WC ins. co. for the past 2 yrs. I have an atty., and once an atty. is brought in, it is the atty.'s job to deal with the WC ins. co. However, I am constantly in contact with my atty.wanting to know why, what, when...now what???

My hubby is the one blowing his fuses wondering is our atty. DOING ANYTHING! I constantly have to remind hubby that WC cases are famous for being SLOW..tedious..and my experience with WC is the understanding that "hurry up and wait" is the norm.

I don't agree with the slowness of this dance with WC;however, it is my job to focus on my health and try to stay calm and stress-free, as my CRPS I is heightened if my stress levels are activated. I think the most difficult aspect of my 2 yr. journey with RSD and WC is to realize that I am not in control of this process. I can be active in MY PERCEPTION of my physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

I see a psychologist every 2 weeks to stay focused on the part of the WC case that I can have a say in..ME! I choose not to play their game; that is why the atty. was brought into the matter.

Chronic pain pain, loss of mobility, and the lack of money, are hard to deal with and usually brings depression and anxiety issues into the fight with WC.
I found that all the meds I have to consume on a daily basis is a daily reminder that my LIFE is in a topsy-turvy state.

Please take time just for yourself, and remember, YOU can change the way you perceive the WC and RSD culprit; specifically, the WC case will not be settled immediately.

I wish you well. I am here for you.
