Well, finally today is my appointment with Dr Robert Freed, a Rheumatologist. Going to be a long drive up to Irvine, but at least I don’t have to drive back down today. Not sure what to expect. I don’t even know if this guy “believes” in Fibromyalgia. I say believes, because, not many Doctors seem [...]

Welcome to another useless Friday. Nothing important has changed or advanced since my last post. The Workers Compensation System is still slow as a worm going uphill, and dealing with my adjuster is like eating nails. Why is it so hard for people to give straight answers the first time, as to [...]
In my eyes, the California Workers Compensation system, of Doctors, Lawyers, and Accountant trained Insurance Adjusters, has failed me, and they do not wish to listen or hear what I have to say, or what I have been through. I have been both physically and mentally disabled for coming on 3 years now. [...]
