Anne Marie -

glad to hear the headaches are more manageable; ecstatic to hear about the long-term disability.

Congrats!

Well its official I am now on long term disability.  Yahoo!!!  I was told to expect a whopper of a payment because I haven't had any $$$$$$$$ since July.  The Happy Dance continues.  Now that's a huge weight lifted from my shoulders.  Yahoo again!!!!

You know I'm thinking about you all the time, and how hard it must be to get through some days.  And you come through with a sense of humor and are always there for others.  You rock, Anne Marie.
I hope you have continuous improvement,

Great news, Anne Marie. You certainly deserve it. Can that insurance company also fix headaches?  ;)

May the good news keep on coming...

AnnMarie,

Tickled you won your battle for long term disability! I know of many here that have waged the war and had it stretch out over a LONG period of time. Congrats to you! Drinks are now on you! :)

Glad you are doing better and won your disability battle... I was told that since I had been
part time and not full time I didn't qualify... part time money spends as well as full time ...
just not as much of it ...

Soundy,

That sucks big time.  Can you tell I'm a Bart Simpson fan?  Oh okay back to the topic here.  Isn't that discrimination?  Gosh, you have had one hell of a battle yourself.  It just doesn't seem fair.  Have you gotten any legal advice?  I'm so sorry for you. 

Keep fighting, do not leave any stone unturned.  Remember you are a fighter.  You battle this AN monster and headaches you can battle the discrimination.

It does suck big time that a medical condition ends up a war zone ...

we need bigger sticks...lumpy knobby ones ...maybe with thorns
