I want to wish you luck , also.
I would ask first about your report from that NPA - did he include a complete rundown of all the testing and the scoring? - if so, pay for someone else to review it and give you another opinion, base on that, or have one done by them to compare......you obviously disagree and need to find answers.
I know you are very disappointed in your treatment by the WCB, and how everything has been handled, and how you have been treated, you have to take the bull by the horns and do something about this yourself - get a lawyer, deal with them.
Now, onto your upcoming Functional Assessment Evaluation:
- do not go alone;
- have an advocate with you at all times - even if they are upset by their presence, have one at your side;
- it is your right to have an advocate present to observe and hear what is said - face it, you are anxious, you are befuddled, you are upset; someone not troubled should be of a better state of mind to advocate for you during these tests ;
- if you are tired, take a break; ask for them and take them.
I haven't seen a Chiropractor doing FAE's ; a Physiatrist, a Physical Therapist, an Occupational Therapist, a Physical Medicine /Rehab.Medicine Specialist, a Certified I.M.E. would be choices, but I guess in Canada the WCB allows for Chiropractors to do FAE's, I just haven't seen that in my area.
As I have shown in my previous links, I just offer best hopes for your evaluations.........but wish you could get other supports as soon as possible and get more fight on against those people. You can do it.
Best wishes.
