I have filed a post in another thread here (Sweating over case closing) with some information about W/C. I was a senior claims examiner before going out on disability.

Hi just a note to let you all know how my case finally ended. I just got my judgement this am through a registered letter. It says that my appeal is accepted. I know must do an independant fce, and based on that....

Does this mean you are officially accepted as Permanent and Stationary andno foolin-for-real disabled? Congrats on being believed!!! I hope you are able to take your medical care into your own hands and get the treatment that WC wouldn't accept as necessary
If you have any concerns over what to expect at the FCE I started a thread http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...ity+evaluation
And I also have a blog and I detailed what I did for my FCE. I haven't officially diagnosed with TOS but I've got many other RSIs in both arms so maybe your FCE might be similar. Here: http://rsi-wc-california.blogspot.co...03/my-fce.html
I wish you all the luck in the world and I hope the close of your case opens up new treatment possibilities thru the freedom of being out of the WC quagmire
