Still stuck on the medicine-go-round
AARGH. Two weeks now and still no Pegasys..I called the people at Mayo who are handling the appeal and the woman was like "haven't you had a couple of shots of it?" Apparantly the pharmacy has yet to get a hold of the meds or is holding them until they get approval from the insurance company because they haven't called me to tell me it is in...And no response yet from the insurance company.
So the Mayo people are gonna try to get a new script written..send it to a Mayo pharmacy and have them ship it to me. She doesn't know if this is gonna work. Meanwhile although I feel okay at the moment (although I feel a headache starting) I'm walking around untreated basically with super high platelets...ARGGH.:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
I hate our fucking health care system. BTW..John McCain and his 30 minutes of exercise solution--go jump in a lake ya moron!:grr:

2. Let me tell you about a wonderful place where no one suffers for want of medicine...

...a magical place above us that shines white. Some people insist it is a myth or the product of wishful thinking. But I have seen the promised land and know it is real. It's a place where people get along with and care about each other. Where streams run clear and the cities are beautiful and the air smells like the mountains.
















A place called Canada.


:shrug: I understand that having pretty much any skill is enough to be let in.

5. I just found out
Its the insurance people holding it up...Possibly for 30 days before they make a decision...I really can't afford the $500 dollars or so it will cost me to pay for it out of pocket.
