Yes, times have changed with recruiting agencies where they were the ones chasing you, and now you must be much more proactive and have multiple recruiter contacts at the same time. Basically, its employer mandates for unrealistic placements that have tainted that whole hiring avenue and the...

Having a current work history is very important as is daily interaction with superiors and subordinates. Its a building block to get you on track to the career you want based on the sacrifices you have already made (education already achieved). Yes, recruiters and jobs for that matter are not...

Have you considered connecting with recruiters? It is not a solid course of action to ever expect continuation borne of a contract (read "temporary") position. In all circumstances, you have already stated that you don't like the work you are doing/are unsatisfied with same. Staying would then...

You conquered the hardest part...landing a job! I would think the only thing as hard is how to explain any gap representing time out of the workforce while disabled. That we can't seem to address for my spouse who, between surgeries and rehabs, disability and our economy has been 9 years now...

As for the "I would", my son (then a toddler, now a teenager) is a boy scout, thus regularly volunteers for both personal and community projects, so I guess I dont get it when other teenagers dont have that same drive to pitch in just because help is needed. Thus, if I knew my son said no only...

Ultimately you are right that my needs were not his, his plans (be they picking his teeth or playing poker), trumped my needs as he owed me nothing. His dad, however, could have chosen not to deliver the message that way/had some tact and simply said "my son has plans for the next few weekends...

I would have said congratulations, but it is kind of a double edged sword as I am sure you would much rather not have the PTSD, hold a job and pay your loans.

Forgiven debt is usually imputed income for which you may receive a tax reporting form at year's end. As for bankruptcy, while rare, school loans can be discharged through same (noting differential between government and personal school loans), but it is a very HARD process (the more you owe...

I would like to know the percentages are of supporters who go on to develop second-hand PTSD

We supporters are hardwired like that, and, sadly, take it somewhat personally when others don't acknowledge our arse-tiredness to pitch in and help in the RARE circumstance (for me, now 12 years into this) we ask for it.

It still sticks with me the time I asked for outside help while my spouse was post surgery no. 500 (exaggerating of course) and unable/not allowed to even lift our then kindergartener let alone "a gallon of milk" (yes, actual directives on discharge papers). I worked full time, and ALL the area...

Here is the substantive part of the appeal (skipping lead and end/wrap paragraphs as they contain history and private information).... Now for the necessary stuff....if you use this, do NOT plagiarize and reword to meet your situation/use only what may apply to you. In ALL circumstances, your...

Fadeaway...thank you so much for reaching out! I will share the research soon (the NE is in midst of bad electrical storms right now, and I am posting from my cell phone at present.) The research revealed.quite a.bit of interesting info. And, again, its not.for everybody/everybody's body...

You would think with all the conspiracy theories in here that Russians are soon to invade or being abducted by aliens is a more plausible.scenario than having been there, done that and on my fifth rodeo, etc. Ultimately, I thought I could help someone who is in like boat to perhaps make some...

Its Kismet...He has pain from multiple back surgeries and implants, but it has amazingly also helped his PTSD symptoms. SEE studies of OVER 700 vets under Dr. Karen Seal, San Diego, Veterans Administration who is finding same to be true for SOME physically injuried and PTSD...

Sorry slow.posting/duplication

Its not about suggesting you or anyone else for that matter START using it if you are not already on it. That is between you and your doc and has NOTHING to do with the purpose of this thread. Its about those who have been on it for years, successfully, already and now their insurers have up...

I wish someone would pay me for my years of independent reasearch work. I feel like i have two full time jobs (one 9-5'er and one fighting our insurance on the regular.) Every med is not for everybody, all here should understand that. If a med, any med, was working for YOU, and you were...

If anyone wants the data I was able to unearth (Pubmed and elsewhere as the prescribing doc was next to useless in our appeal with a one paragraph contribution which he charged.us for...though his staff was great), just post here and I will share it. And again, please share your research data...

I am a paralegal...glad my education paid off. Sure hope that.doesnt mean I am not allowed to share MY family's experiences...? Did not know lawyers got paid to do that (doctors I could see)? Perhaps you should look up some of my posts before jumping to conclusions first.(been a member since...

I would encourage everyone to share their respective appeal research data for ALL procedures and ALL medications in this thread...not just the med we had issues getting reinstated. It may just prove helpful for someone faced with that devastating denial letter. Signed, a tired arse caregiver.

No. Arent you the pleasant one? Our lives were hell, and it worked for him. As I said, its not a one size fits all, and once posted you can use the info or ignore it (or do something else with it if you choose). Good luck with that tude...sheesh, thought we were here to support one another...

I will post all study data and particulars in coming day or so for those facing denials for off script use of S U B O X O N E for pain management and lessening of complex PTSD symptoms. In OUR (thus not a one size fits all solution) case, this has been the only RX that has worked for...

No close girlfriends. Only two I could ever trust with the details of spouse's condition. One moved time zones away around the time my spouse was severely injured/pre diagnosis given her abusive exhusband, and one died (she being much older than me). The rest of my friends were not close...

Thanks to you all for the comments. More food for thought.
