Just a positive bit of news. The insurance company rang me today after almost 10 months of hassle to tell me that I do meet the criteria to qualify for my critical illness policy. I’m not going to relax until the money is in the bank after their service to date but I can breathe a bit easier, it helps too with the chest tightness subsiding.
Then the OT came to assess me and I’m going to get all the help I need. Isn’t it sad that nobody took me seriously until this fabulous Neuro and now I have a diagnosis, ms nurse, continence nurse, OT and can get all the help I need.
Moral of the story - MS is not a great diagnosis but you don’t have to be left to get on with everything on your own like I did when I just had a spinal cord injury. And keep fighting if you have insurances even if you’re the little man against a huge company.
Life gets better people. Enjoy your weekend, I know I will.
Cath I am so pleased for you, hope it won’t be too long before the money is in your account. It’s been such a horrible struggle for you…I’m really hoping you’ll begin to feel better now that you can relax a little. Hope this means you won’t have to move house now and that you can have a well deserved rest. Nina xx
I’m still planning on moving but at least now I have a better budget and can afford decent carpets etc. My current home is 100 years old with no cavity walls, and a curved staircase that I find difficult to manage. It’s got all the problems an old house is known for and I love it but unfortunately can’t keep on top of it all now. Some new affordable houses are on the market nearby and they’ll be better now. Anyone looking for a lovely little old home in the Lake District?
