[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 547345, member: 11791"] Oh, Lisa. Major, major {{hugs}}. First you have to go "there"... disability. Then, maybe, you can get help... at least to a level that improves the quality of life. Extended family member with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) due to car accident. Can no longer drive, can't do many things. On full-time-equivalent disability income. But... once they got him to that point? They put him through all sorts of specialists and trials, and... there are medications that help. For him - they treated it as though he had ADHD and narcoplexy. Which meant adding a stimulant. He still can't drive - but he does hold down a full-time job, and they only reduced his disability by half of his income (it's how the system works here). [/QUOTE]
