four replies to orig post and last post was "11/16/04 04:11 pm by" hmmm...we know we're the anonymous poster in this one as we had a previous account deleted at our request back in 2005.

bringing this thread back up as today we faced scary demon of PTSD by going into small claims ourselves and dealing with the whole rigamarole. the continuence was granted so hopefully the PTSD hurdles/triggers that have kept us from adequately dealing with the accident of Nov. 2004 can now be faced one by one.

it hasn't been easy attempting to work with insurance companies who claimed to have extensive training in PTSD only to contradict themselves in the same conversation.

we kept having to bring our PTSD issues and disabilities (other dxs as well) into focus for them by explaining how they would never ask a person in a wheelchair to "just deal" with a staired bldg that lacked a ramp......their telling me to "just call" was akin to the accessibility issue for wheelchairs.

we process information differently than we used to prior to the massive traumas we have lived through. the two car accidents in one year majorally exacerbated our conditions.

we're only now feeling some emergence from this hellish process. we've not even kept up with medical treatment due to financial constraints.

finally there is a chance that this will be resolved properly and w/o much further stressors to our system.

never thought we'd get to this day NOR did we think we'd be able to get THROUGH it.............we did both!

kudos for us!

p.s. original post was about different issue but the timing of our first post was days prior to accident so we wonder if we didn't revisit this on the 16th of '04.......meh....neither here nor there now!
