Interesting dilemma as of late.
Disability:
Psychiatrist says with Cognitive difficulties, Major Depression, etc that I should speak with my Neurologist about Disability.
Neurologist says she doesn't know me that well yet as she has only been seeing me a couple of months and although we've been through 2 DMDs and onto the 3rd with the hopes of getting Insurance Co to cover Tysabri on appeal, 3rd Cognitive Med, 3rd Fatigue Med she would oppose Disability. I need to get the Depression under control. She always says I remind her of another "high achieving" Leader in a Fortune 500 company who has been in continual decline since he went on Disability and she doesn't want to see that happen with me and he was "forced out" due to absences. My wife hasn't found a job yet and that concerns her as well. Let's give the different medications a chance to work.
So although I'm struggling at work with cognitive, organizational, concentration, fatigue, Anxiety, Depression, and more all resulting in absences and some deficiencies in my work I have a Psychiatrist worried about me losing my 70% Disability plan by being let go and end up on SSDI alone. On the other hand a Neurologist stating I would oppose Disability at this point which I think is from a good heart as she kinda sees it as not giving her a good run at resolving my issues.
Anyone else ever been in this situation and what are your thoughts? Looks like Psych not as optimistic as Neuro.
