Lord Ruby-- you have been through it, lady! I am praying for you! Just got through with some choice words for the insurance company. Love the strategy of them just covering a medication for 2 months but not telling the pharmacy or patient unless we look it up and then ask them to override. They are hoping we will just go away. I knew this med was covered (but only 4 pills and a huge co pay and only for 2 months-- because my life long migraines will go away in 2 months-- yeah, right...)Get to pharmacy-- they say no-- I call insurance-- she gives me all kinds of attitude, tells me pharmacy has to ask for an override-- how would they even know that-- they would not know-- they hope you give up and I am sure most people and the elderly for sure would. She proceeds to tell me that I can only get the meds twice anyway -- almost as if she is glad I can only be helped twice! And they cover NONE of this class of drugs-- and it is a class that has been around for a million years and is accepted as a therapy for treatment. Why don't they pay? Because they are United Healthcare and they can decide not to...They will pay for copious amounts of narcotics I was informed-- though the DEA might have a problem with that---AARRRGGGGHHHH. What a bunch of jerks. Anyway...it is spring break and I refuse to let this and migraines ruin my break with Luke. 2 nights ago we went to Medieval Times-- sort of cheesy but he and a buddy we took-- 2 6 year old boys-- they were in heaven with their crowns on and cheering and all that-- and it was his first sleep over that night. The reason I am ranting about the meds is they had strobes and it triggered migraines and Mark is out of town now so I am not in good shape -- but I have a sitter coming to take Luke to a play place so he will not miss out today and yesterday we went to his favorite place WalMart (hee) and outdoors for a few hours despite the noggin but today I have to knock it out as Six Flags is saturday. Mark is back tonight and tomorrow they are going skating then the cousins come in for the Flags-- I can't ride most of it due to the concussion I had so I am not sure what I will do-- I guess walk around and get a self esteem boost (this is what my sister says about going to amusement parks and malls-- no matter how bad you feel about yourself-- go to them and you get a huge self esteem boost). The one day trip to Chicago was quite a whirl wind-- the Hawks lost in a shoot out which was such a bummer -- but Mark was in heaven and I must say-- a full house at a tight hockey game-- it was worth every cent.

MB--Hang tight-- don't let nut case women get you down. I'll come pop a cap in her for you!

Gee Whiz - I HATE dealing with insurance companies. So sorry what you're going thru ATL.

I'm at work so can't stick around. Just want to wish everyone a GREAT day. I think we all need it. :h:h

Not sure what it says about me but I enjoyed unloading on her-- knew nothing would change. Like I said earlier though-- i love peoPle like Judge Judy!! It just stinks that the doctor is willing to help and the insurance limits the meds to 8 pills a year-- this is not experimental-- the stuff cost $200 a pill without insurance though-- and I would need about 20 a month . The stuff has been around for years so it is not a fly by night. Not to go on a rant but half the time migraine stuff is not covered ( except pain stuff) because women have them and we are considered " hysterical" with them. Guess I will just hope they go away after menopause!

A good friend of mine has migraines and goes thru the same thing getting her very few pills for the month. Ridiculous!!!

Fen, I'm so sorry about J's father. Such a hard experience to go through. I'll be thinking of you both. I'm glad you got to go to the cabin. I'm sick about leaving mine. I checked out that city. BEAUTIFUL! I think I WILL have to visit!
MB, so sorry Clay was sick. And I'm telling you that women would have a hard time walking if she tried that with me. She left her child THAT long and they didn't take it? What does she have to do, abandon it. You can buy pepper spray in dozens of places. Try a gun shop. Or spray her with doe urine. THAT won't was off. I'm so sorry for your headaches. Stress, right? And thank you so much for the prayers. I need them all.
Sun, is your insurance an HMO? It's such a shame they're like that. I know you're devastated by your daughter moving to Florida. But think of what a cool place that would be to visit her for about a month in the dead of winter. I understand the depression. Hope your sun comes out again soon. Do your yoga, meditation, get lots of sunlight, and be well, love.
Grateful, it was so good to see you here. No excuses for not checking in, girl!
Bird, I'm so sorry about that child. Watch and talk to your girls. It's a fact that teens like to copycat after they lose a friend. :hug:
Nora, so glad you and Sonny are doing so well together. Graduation. YAY!
ATL, insurance companies are notorious for hiding the exclusions in the small print. You go to the mat with them, girl. With your schedule, you need it. I've been thinking about my grands to Medieval Times. I figured it was for crazy adults and kids, but it's all about the kids, right? If you want an esteem boost, for to Wal-Mart! :H
I'll post more later. Meds have run out, time to take more. I'm in a lot of pain right now.

Ruby-you are right. I have no excuse for not checking in here. Did you fall at the cabin? You definitely don't need anymore pain as you live with chronic pain everyday. I hope you are resting and please let others take care of you. Sunny-do you think you are feeling down because the dr.took you off the ADs cold turkey? Plus with your daughter moving....I probably missed it, but why is she moving to Florida? ATL-you amaze me. It sounds like you have so many health issues but yet you keep going like the energizer bunny. Bird-I am so sorry that that young person took his life...it makes me want to keep my 18 yo in the house at all times...as it is, he has almost made his mind up to NOT go to college-even though he has been accepted, but he wants to join the Army. Jan-thank you for the prayer for all of us. I do not like that you work in such a violent place and my wish for you is that a better, safer job will come along to you. Fen-I am really sorry about your father-in-law and I will pray for him and you and Mrs. Fen. Tony, IAD, Nora, Georgie and all the others that I am missing-I hope you are enjoying Spring so far.

Just a little update about me..I had back surgery last week and stayed in hospital for one night. I have pain around the incision and where the dr. worked, BUT the original pain is gone!! The only real problem I am having now is that I have a nasty stomach bug that just won't leave....this is day 4. My Mom thinks it could be C-Dif but I am so weak I can't even go to the dr. I was hoping to be up and moving around by now but instead I am sick and falling into the pit of depression, not to mention the diapers:H

My hope is that we will all be well physically and emotionally VERY SOON.

Love to all.:h
