Hey everybody! Long time no talk to. I am using an old computer while mine's in the shop and this page was bookmarked. I thought of you guys often but could never remember the website. The good news...
I'm just popping in today to say hello - and saw this thread and just wanted to contribute that there is light at the end of the tunnel. My rheumatologist diagnosed me with "severe" fibromyalgia last...
Finally after one application and three appeals (the 3rd being the final one) Manulife accepted my disability claim and will be forwarding me a cheque. I was off work full-time for 3 months and...
