Disability specialist, and former UNUM employee Linda Nee is looking for stories for a book about disability case stories that patients have . Take a look at her blogpost here:

http://lindanee.wordpress.com/2013/02/28/a-book-in-the-making-disability-claim-case-stories/

i have been a fan of Linda's blog for over a year now. She is on our side! she mentions ME and fibromyalgia when it comes to problems with private disability insurance, and has a lot of great tips and information about how to deal with the insurer, and what are the current trends in disability insurance (and it's not pretty)

You can read more about Linda here: http://lindanee.wordpress.

Telling our stories publicly (with key ID details withheld) may just be an important way to fight the isurance companies.
