Hi All,
I would like to offer you that hammer Leonard, but
currently I'm using it on my own arm! I understand
every word you just wrote, but I'ld like to share with
you my IME. I had one about a year ago. I was so
anxious I couldn't sleep, even more then usual, I
couldn't eat because my stomache hurt so bad from
being nervous and my meds on an empty stomache only
made it worse. On the morning I was to go, my 7 year
old who has autism was upset and crying because he
didn't want to go to school. He kept telling me he
would kill himself if I made him go. I forced him
into his class, crying and screaming, I got back into
my car crying as I felt like the worse mother on
earth, my arm hurt so bad because I had to drive an
hour 1/2 to get to the IME, then I couldn't find the
place! I called my fiancee` hystrical and screamed at
him because I was lost. When I finally found the
place, I found a rather warm and caring older
gentlemen for a doctor. He sat down with me went over
questions he had about my file as he had read
everything. (4 1/2 years worth at that point) I
instantly started to relax with him. He did the
examination and told me straight out that I had
recieved EXCELLENT medical treatment and that the only
thing he would have changed is stronger pain killers
to take away more of the pain. SO my point is I went
through all of that, put my family through all of that
and it was for nothing... I have seen about 9
different doc's in the past 5 1/2 years and every one
of them have concluded the same thing and everyone of
them have given me a little different treatment. Some
has been helpful some not so much. But overall, I
want to believe I have been lucky with my treatment.
I know how you feel but believe me it probaly isn't
as bad as you think it is going to be.

Take care
Chrissy
