If the WC docs saw evidence of MS, they would be responding quickly to deny any further expenses.

Headstrong,

I'm in the same boat. Lol I had to d/c a med and it wasn't good. There is a pharmacy called Injury Workmans Pharmacy that works with your attorney to clear any wmc bull w/out medication disruption. Worth a shot.

I have been ordered a neck xray (pulling teeth from MD). Physical rehabilitation, cognitive and speech therapy and a psychiatric appt. We have to do an emergency hearing for these. This was a few weeks ago and still waiting.

Thanks crystal, good to know about the backup Pharmacy in case there are any other issues.

The waiting with this "WC system" is the worst!
