When TM hit me in 2005, my employer told me that LTD may not get approved and then I would be out of a job. Instead, they offered me a lesser job and a week later told me they decided to eliminate that job and offered me a severance. It was like the LTD was off the table at that point. So I had no choice but to negotiate a severance. The package was for 1 year and then I filed for disability with SSA. I got bad advice from all parties and now I can't pay all my bills.

I am a licensed practitioner. However, since the TM attack, I have a very difficult time being "on the floor, consulting with customers" so I have moved to the office, where I do the invoices, and special orders. It could be a full time job, but I just do not have the energy. The pocketbook could use the money, but the body needs the rest. So, since money can't buy health, I shall just carry on. I am 47 and I pretend that I am semi retired! Go to work at 12:30 or later, and stay until 5:30. Like I said - I am grateful for my employer! Janet
