Well, Roderick got back to me today, finally, after I sent him another email.
He was not able to find any Doctor on the list of Fibromyalgia Doctors I got from the National Fibromyalgia Assoc, who would be willing to take a WC case.
So, in the mean time I have no Doctor. My next Doctor Appt is July 15th, 2004, 6 weeks away. Only a hair off of my 3 year anniversary of becoming physical injured. With, Dr. Robert Freed, who is a rheumatologist, that also specializes in Fibromyalgia. That Doctor’s name is scary close to mine.
As for my Psychological treatment, he does not expect to get Dr Mendelson’s report for another 30 days, so that is at least another 8 weeks out before I’ll be seeing a psych for my problems. Leaving me with a rather large 8 month gap in my mental treatment. Something disturbing, is that I will probably never know what is in my psyche report from Dr Mendelson, because; “We usually do not forward psyche reports to the injured worker. ”
I should be able to know everything about myself that Doctors are gathering about me, from the physical reports to my mental state. This whole system keeps people in the dark, by pro actively hiding information from the people they are “trying” to help.
I think it is utter bullshit that I have to wait another 6 weeks, to two months before I begin some kind of treatment again. When does it end? Well, if I was actually treated properly back when I lived in Orange County, I had a real good chance of seeing the right Doctors. Now I’ll have to go all the way to OC, to Irvine, probably right down the Street from where I lived on Culver, to a Doctor, who may or may not help me with my fibromyalgia.
I hate my ex-lawyers. They screwed my case up. All that they have done is managed to push my case out for much longer than I would have liked. I feel that I could have started treatment for fibro, if someone was actually helping me, back in September of 2003. Talk about a wasting a year.
