Neurosarcoidosis Specialist in Atlanta, GA?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

This group has already been helpful and educational to me and I just

joined today. I've been having symptoms since Dec 06 but it became

worst in Feb 07. First they thought a stoke, then brain tumor, brain

lesion, MS and now neurosarcoidosis. I'm a nurse of almost 20yr now

I'm the patient; a difficult role reversal. I have short term memory

loss, fatigue, severe daily headaches, occasional migraines,

difficulty with concentration and insight and I have difficulty having

a conversation, I just kinda stand there cause I don't know what to

say. I have exhausted my FMLA and now a true diagnosis as I fear

termination due to absence and declining performance. That's not how I

want to leave. I'm a single parent with 3 children therefore I must

work as much as I possiblity can and I need my insurance. Does anyone

have any suggestions for me re: SSDI and short/long term disability

and Medicare insurance. Does anyone know a NS specialist in the

Atlanta area or just a EXCELLENT Dr. that I can see? Thanks in advance

for your assistance and suggestions.
