I've know her for a few years, she's different than most, super sweet, waaaaay too nice and trusting and naive, easily taken advantage of and then wonders why, definitely ADHD (her head moves around like a birds as every new thing catches her eye while you are talking with her) and she's always getting into trouble...not illegal trouble, but Murphy follows her around with a vengeance.

3 years ago she moved to Alaska with a deadbeat (naturally) guy that soon left her, took her life savings ($22K) with him and she's been stuck there ever since, though I'm trying to get her to move back to Boston (her family is here).

here's her latest situation and I'm very worried about her. I left her email to me exactly as she typed it to give you a sense of her mindset.

What advice can I give her? What should she do?

Car accident happened 19 December 2009 downtown 5th and Gambell around 11am. I was stopped at a red light and the person behind me couldn't stop and hit me from behind. His front end was damaged badly and his truck hit my spare tire on my jeep. They replaced the back gate on my jeep and the accident caused the rear defrost to pop off (they fixed that) The person who hit me insurance company said the man was at fault and they'd take care of my medical costs and have my jeep fixed. Hospital stated I had a strained neck, back and torso. Been in care since January, medical bills around $18,000.00. The medical bills consist of numerous chircopractic visits, acupuncture, hospitals testing and emergency visits. State Farm said they'd settle for $3,000.00 and pay my medical costs. Still dealing with thoracic muscle spasms, thoracic pain, not being able to sleep due to pain, stress, broken tooth due to stress and lack of sleep. Every day the pain level is a 6 on the 1-10 scale, affecting my sleep and only getting about 3-4 hours a sleep each night. About a month ago I started to notice that when bent over, reached for something in the cupboards or lay down/get out of bed it felt like i was spinning around in circles and I got to the point where I wanted to get sick but didn't. This is now happening every day at least 3xs a day. I saw the nuero-chirco and he did a few tests on me and thinks I need to go for some further testing to an onotoralyst-nuerologist (bad spelling). The problem is where they have the testing they want a letter from State Farm or the attorney stating that payment will be sent within 30 days. I'm seeing the nuero doc for another test tomorrow because I told them what the nuero testing docs payment policy was and we will see from there. A major problem is that no doctors here will take 3rd party billing and State Farm Insurance won't pay until I'm fully recovered. So, I'm running around in circles and if i want to see another doctor I have to pay FULLY for it out of my own pocket. I wake up every morning feeling like I've been hit by a train.

I hope this helps, let me know what else you think would be helpful.
