The fluctuating symptoms may lead to serious complications in functioning and problems with personal relationships – making it difficult to hold down a job. Even with proper treatment, bipolar disorder can be problematic to manage.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (“CFS”), also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (“ME”) or Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (“SEID”), is a debilitating, often misunderstood disease. It is generally characterized by severe, overwhelming fatigue that does not improve with rest, and post-exertional malaise – or the inability to recover normally from even minimal physical or cognitive exertion. Individuals with CFS/ME also experience general weakness, cognitive problems, un-refreshing sleep, muscle or joint pain and flu-like symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no known treatment to cure this disease.
Ménière's Disease (also called endolymphatic hydrops) is a serious vestibular disorder that can significantly impact balance and hearing. Individuals with Ménière's Disease may experience episodic vertigo, balance issues, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, and hearing loss. The symptoms can be exhausting and disorienting, often resulting in long term disability. Unfortunately, there is no known cure. Here’s what you need to know before filing your long term disability claim for Ménière's Disease.
Acoustic neuroma (also known as vestibular schwannoma) is a benign tumor found on the vestibular nerve, which leads to your brain from your inner ear. Since the vestibular nerve helps control your balance and hearing, the pressure caused by an acoustic neuroma can cause significant hearing loss, ringing (tinnitus), dizziness, and balance issues. Many who suffer from an acoustic neuroma find they can no longer work as a result of their symptoms.
Here’s what you need to know before filing your long term disability claim for an acoustic neuroma.
