I think all in all the Worker's Compensation Insurance Industry made a statement that I would not be covered anymore no matter what I did for a living. I was too much of a liability for them....so take your S.S. and be gone with you. Which is sad in a way that a pencil pusher that never has done a lick of physical labor can get rid of someone that easily. But, hey whatever I can roll with the flow.
My attorney for work comp. explained that their reasoning was that it had happened before. Imagine someone working construction had scaffold fall on them....cut their hand.....hmmmm. Must be Hunter's Syndrome. It was a way out for the insurance companies and always is as long as they have lobbyists controlling our congress.
Since the past twenty years every claim is denied automatically anyway. THEN, you have to take time off work to prove what is already known. Sometimes I am glad to be out of the game.
Life with Hunter's Syndrome
I am going to try and describe what the genetic problem does to a person. Hopefully, I will help someone in advising how to deal with the physical aspects......also some of the emotional and economic things that will affect anyone that has to get help. These physical problems definitely will change and alter your lifestyle. I am not going to get technical because with all the technical input from all the doctors I have seen never meant anything to me.(I know they are trying to help but I need layman's terms.) All I knew is I was way too young to be feeling this way.
Hunter's Syndrome is a rare disease in which some enzymes are missing. While most people's joints heal the basic ingredient to heal is missing. In other words you age much faster than a normal person. It has affected my hearing, eyesight and many other parts of the body. Actually I am lucky too have a such a mild case as I am now 46 years old.
The story starts at the bottom post and works its way up.
