Explanation
Thanks for the response I appreciate it....First thing case worker said is "why are you driving?
"I automatically defended myself and said I only drive to appointments and not after dark or the days I have vestibular therapy and my OPT specialist said my eyes were good....
Case worker moving on to If you don't do this and blah blah by this date I will deny you(yelling pretty much)....
My phone rings it's one of my MDs I called before while waiting to see this ate up case worker(called MD about ears)I asked casework if she could hold real quick I had to take call...
as I answer case worker in background saying "NO I don't have time for this I will close your case NOW"I tell MD I'll call back....
Ate up caseworker goes and makes copy (at this point I think blood pressure was up IDK I never had high BP)She comes back and I said
"why are you wondering why I am driving still? I stated I been driving since accident in 2011 and I just got diagnosis" Ate up Caseworker said "oh I thought you just got a head injury".....SMDH...I was nice and polite and said thank you and went to car to have a melt down as I drove home!!!
WOW is that how society treats the disabled? I do not even want the help anymore....I will lose everything before that nasty attitude!!!  :

- I know what you mean about 'those horrible lights" - all those ridiculous offices with those lights, that are bright, flickering, poorly designed and never cared for to maintain proper lighting and just horrible with the bothersome lighting that only those sensitive are bothered by - florescents are nightmarish.
Now, to the Nosebleeds:
1).you have humidification at home, so in that State office setting its almost a guarantee that your membranes dry out swiftly with poor humidity and poor air circulation;
2.) (more importantly) That stress, coupled with your stressors of your health problem, might have stimulated you into a blood pressure spike that could have lead you into a nose bleed - you might wish to check with your physician..... remember, we are brain injured persons and can have aberrant brain responses from outside stimulii, and need to be overly cautious at times when things are different from 'our ' norm.
Just saying.......
