I was reading the thread anxiety or PCS. I was referred to the anxiety clinic about six weeks ago. I've been waiting and waiting for an appointment. Finally the clinic called back and said that workman's comp. wont pay for it.

I called my attorney and the paralegal said, "well you've had anxiety in the past and they may want those records". I told her no way. My "anxiety" per se was post traumatic stress from my childhood and has nothing to do with what I'm experiencing today. There is personal items in my records and is none of their business. I have resolved those "childhood" issues.

This anxiety is different. I went from a carefree individual. Rode my quad, did flips in my back yard. Was going to sky dive for my birthday. Training for the warrior dash and was nick named "Mario Andretti" because of my driving. Now I'm so freaked out that if I hear a loud noise near my head...I jump. No more back flips (for obvious reasons) No sky diving I would pee myself and have a meltdown for sure. I sit in the passenger's seat with white knuckles if my husband gets to close to a car. If I'm driving next to a car I fear it moving into my lane..and a truck OMG!!!!!!!!!

So she is going to fight it with another hearing. I finally broke down and let my Neuro give me Clonazapam (sp). to take at night.

I wish I could sue Workman's Comp. they do nothing but hinder my recovery. I have to stress and deal with the bull. I've been living with this anxiety and of course situational depression and I would like to get over them if I can.

I'm sure you've all had experiences like mine but it boggles my mind that some nurse somewhere sitting in an office reading my records can say they know what is best for me, especially when a practicing MD says otherwise. Maybe the laws need to be revamped...... maybe less people would have to get on SSI disability if they get the proper treatment quickly.
