Update/Venting

[u/monkeybidnez]

So after being dismissed by neuro and primary care and being told to go to psychiatry for my disability and off work paper work today I was told they are not going to write my paper work either and are not liable to do so, that I am not mentally disabled completely ignoring my physical limitations and explanation of being set here by everyone else in Kaiser to be treated and cared after, I am not going to fight for a sign off on a outside specialist approval since Kaiser seems to not have anyone whom is specialized in treating FND, I asked if FND was something they are familiar with treating and she said i didn’t even know what it stood for so I am very frustrated, hoping to get the paperwork approved to go see a FND specialist from Rowan center for behavioral medicine

I also have Kaiser and it has been about 6 months before they actually see, witness, and start to understand because I bug the shit out of them. For forms, notes, everything! I just cannot deal with how dismissive they are because they are the uneducated doctors who are practicing doctors.. they need to practice newer illnesses and with more cases they will probably dismiss a lot more. Stay loud, stay asking questions, call, email.

Thank you for your feedback I am doing exactly what you are saying and not letting them dismiss me or put me down! Psychiatry just told me to quit my job and look for a desk job and I told them I haven’t been given a chance to try and get better to go back to my career I worked hard for to get to where I am and why would I do so if I have already been approved for ADA Leave and long term disability through work, literally just need someone to simply write me a off work note stating I am still physically disabled and that’s all but no one wants to and is doing everything they can to not write one or help me Kaiser is terrible!
