wendya2J,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Your insurance issues are common. It is tough to make a medical diagnosis that supports the time in Neuro Rehab. Insurance Cos try to avoid Neuro Rehab since it can get very expensive.

The intensity of a Neuro Rehab stay may be too much.

Have you had any intensive diagnostics of your upper neck and spine ? Absent a specific brain injury causing your dominant hand weakness, an upper neck injury is very suspect. It is very difficult to diagnose C-1 (atlas) to occiput (base of skull) injuries. It can help to just focus on maintaining good neck posture with routine icing of the upper neck. Inflammation is often a cause of the weakness symptoms.

As much as in-patient rehab may be helpful, please be aware of the need to keep beds full in rehab hospitals. There is a protocol of "use up all of the patient's insurance then discharge the patient."

Obamacare is also throwing a huge monkey wrench into healthcare right now. The stress of dealing with insurance is not conducive to recovery.

Check out the Vitamins sticky at the top. It has a link to the You Tube "You Look Great" series. It can be helpful.

Homeowners would help if you fell in the tub at someone else's house. No coverage if you fell at home.

Please feel free to unload your frustrations. There are plenty of good people here to help.

My best to you.
