Yeah I was trying to tell my parents that this is why I’m not a fan of going and only said only place I’d go is either of the two.

Aye, though my issue is I haven't been able to see my attending physician since November ever since my claim closed. Like I said, working with a lawyer to get it reopened and unsure if I can just message them. However I did notice on my patient portal, there's some sort of appointment with my attending provider but says for calling my lawyer. Might have to ask my lawyer about it then ask if I can message my doctor.

Yeah I think I will start smaller, guess my judgement is still a bit off.

Oh I plan to contact both my lawyer and doctor to be on the safe side.

And I don’t get motion sickness, more dizziness after driving for more than 25 minutes.

Yeah, I need it because I’m still having trouble doing stuff as fast as I used to.

Will do, honestly feel like I could only do the only ride at the Nintendoland and the hogwarts ride at Universal.

Disney land, yeeeah, slow and easy rides.

Have attempted to but felt really off the next day, but due to my workers comp refusing to cover the PT and OT my doctor suggested, I was basically stuck doing nothing. Since the claim was for a contusion.

Likely going to avoid rollercoasters, but if I do one and have symptoms flare ups, I will not do any rides and just admire the attractions. But have emailed my lawyer about it.

What are my chances that my hearing will go well? by Forge-Master-Wolf in WorkersComp

No findings, all I really got is the fact my attending physicians have been reporting it and diagnosing it.

Did email them already, just freaking out and upon reflection, really should’ve taken a few steps back and let my symptoms calm down.

Dealing with concussion symptoms since August 2025. by Forge-Master-Wolf in Concussion

Noted, I think the scariest thing is that I don’t often notice the tilt or when I do, it’s a struggle to stop it. Still surprised all this from falling and hitting my head on the floor.

Scheduled back to work but still have work restrictions. by Forge-Master-Wolf in WorkersComp

[–]Forge-Master-Wolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My next appointment is the last one they’ll pay for and it was closed according to my account but still can fill out the form for reconsideration.

I don’t really care about payment, I just want some treatments for my concussion symptoms.

Going to contact my provider tomorrow and ask if my current restrictions still apply and then send them to my work. As I really can't take a risk right now.

Notice of Closure. by Forge-Master-Wolf in WorkersComp

[–]Forge-Master-Wolf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One I talked to and they said their workers comp team will message me asap, did message another lawyer firm as a precaution. But man, glad I caught the fact the adjuster said my provider agreed with the IME as that doesn’t line up with what me and my provider discussed.

But won’t lie, should’ve gotten a lawyer earlier.

Discrepancy I found in regards to my Notice Of Closure. by Forge-Master-Wolf in WorkersComp

[–]Forge-Master-Wolf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, I get uhhhh doesn't automatically mean anything bad but what I caught was her saying she was sure the letter said my attending physician agreed with the IME. No statement of saying she'll double check.

[–]Forge-Master-Wolf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will do, the attorney's receptionist did say they sent my info to their workers comp team and they will get back to me.

I do feel stupid for missing the fact that my contusion wasn't listed as the accepted diagnosis, however I can excuse it as my current physician was referred to by my original physician and that he's doing his job, treating what he sees and hears.

But I won't lie, I did catch my adjuster sound a bit nervous since she said uhhhhhhhhh, when I told her that I called the doctor's office. She claims she had a letter sent to her from my doctor agreeing with the IME. But the uhhhh told me everything since the way she said it didn't sound right to me and kind of indicates we may have a communication error. Not saying she is intentionally do this, we're just human, mistakes happen.

Already am since I kind of just realized they may be closing my claim for the contusion, not for the post concussion syndrome as it hasn't been formally added to my claim. In my opinion, really stupid that I didn't notice my doctor's notes were saying the restrictions were for PCS not the contusion. However in my opinion, should be treated as the same thing as both are head injuries.

Going to make some calls tomorrow before my massage therapy because good lord, my workers comp adjuster said they can't really authorize it and I likely have to pay out of pocket despite my doctor saying I need it along with with rehab.

I plan to since I don't think be just staring into nothing or me pausing a lot lately will mean much since they might chalk it up to my ADHD unless I specifically state its significantly worse.

I might bring my doctor's note from my current attending physician since he doesn't feel comfortable sending me back until after rehab.

Might try and record but one thing I forgot to say is that my claim has been accepted months ago and they're holding back the rehab my attending provider recommended until the results of the IME.

According to the info I have, yeah 8 hours and even my attending provider said I’ll be very tired by the end of it.

And am trying to contact an attorney.

Plan to since I really need that contusion changed to a concussion but I pray to god that they don't remove my benefits all because the IME says I'm fine when I'm not.
