      I am frustrated with my attorney, it doesn't seem like they are doing much. But they have a good reputation in the area. I'm still waiting to get an IME. I'm not driving much anymore since I have problems stanidng and walking. I hate it. I hate it all. But you have went through it and have survived so I will survive too. I am sorry you had the hassle of going to trial. I don't look for any miracles but are happy each time there is a small one from workers comp (not the insurance company). I finally got a couple months mileage and got caught up in pay again. Today, I spent it all on bills. Take care.

      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I think that I have been depressed for a long time but it is now hitting me really hard. Because I lost my career as a truck driver due to a DUI. Then I got a new job as a salesmen I was there about only 2 weeks and I injured my back on the job. This was in 10/2006 and I have not worked since. I had to sell my house, harley, and my truck. I have no income because work comp claim is beeing desputed, because they think my back problem was not caused from work.Because I have history of back pain.
