Me too, sorry you are having to travel this path.
Please try and realize that "the system" is used to working that way. It's you (and me) that don't get it.
Not to minimize (believe me, I know what you are going through)... this is, on the surface, paperwork. Add the physical activity it takes, ok... it is simple but not easy.
Try and gain perspective on this. They aren't asking you to jump through too many hoops (yet.)... I hope you won't have to (like go to strange doctors for bogus evals and then have to fight against them with a lame attorney...etc)
I realize it IS life you're trying to live.
I don't think they "get it" that it does seem like life and death... if it was all ok, ppl like us would probably be able to work (at least as incompetently as they do
)
TC.....
