AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I suppose I'm 1 of the lucky MS'ers so I shouldn't complain, please forgive my rant. My employer (our municipal government) has THE BEST Employee Health Services Dept. with people who are honest enough to say "You're too sick to come back" without fear of being sued for discrimination. I have heard this for a couple of years now but...
In August I got clearance from them to go back for a few hours per week (which I'll get paid for at my regular salary rather than the rubbish LTD rate which is desperately needed).
Both my insurance co and my employer need a letter from my neuro stating my limitations, etc. Sounds good except he doesn't have any appointments until JANUARY 2012!!!! He sees patients 1 day per week in the office and that's all. What the heck is that?????? My neuro isn't even an MS specialist, he deals mostly with stroke patients so I'm low on the priority list by comparison.
Does anyone else find this unacceptable? You can't change neuro's in Ontario... once your neuro, always your neuro. Any Canadians out there with advice? I'm sick of the red tape running my life.
