I am really glad that your husband found a treatment that works for him and allowed him to return to work. I truly hope that your family will eventually recoup some of its losses from the time he was unemployed. I'm so sorry for what you all suffered.
WC is just an evil system. I am also a vistim of WC - the Hartford has almost made me totally nuts on a number of occasions. I am back to work after a year's LOA and many different treatments, ketamine was the answer for me. I tried just about everything else, though, first.
You are an inspiration to all of us!! I sincerely hope you have a wonderful holiday season!!
XOXOX Sandy

The SCS does not eliminate all pain, but has allowed him, with quite a fight, to get back in his truck and drive and to be drug free. He recently was able to go back to work, 2.5 years after his accident. We have lost our house, and one of our vehicles, while fighting w/c and getting my husband the treatment he needed, however we (my husband, myself 4 kids and the basset hound  are happy to be standing on our feet. Makes you realize what truly is important in life. The best to you all... RSDWIFE |
