Re: Re: rx med cost

[Guest guest]

My husband started a new job last year and we were given the worst insurance

I've EVER heard of. They changed it shortly after he started or I don't think

he would have taken the job. I have been beating my head against the wall

because he HAS NOT changed jobs.....he hates change. But he also hates being

broke and we are so stressed out, I don't get why it wouldn't be less stressful

to change jobs. Luckily, we are moving back to Phoenix in June so he will have

to find a new job. So, are you guys ready to hear what our

MONTHLY RX BILL IS........................................

$1,500 to $1,600 HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!! I think I'm having a nervous breakdown

as I write this.....breathe.....That doesn't include co-pays for dr.

visits....and some they won't cover at all. I can't figure out how the

differentiate and it's killing us! The tension in this house gets crazy

sometimes.

Re: Re: Need Fibro Help ASAP!

Hi Deb,

The grocery store has become one of my worst experiences. I have finally had

to start having them delivered and only go to the store to get the extra few

items that were not on the order list or get something special. Stop and Shop

has what they call Peapod that lets you order your groceries over the Internet

and pick a delivery time. The delivery people put the bags in my kitchen and all

I have to do is put them away (which takes me a couple of days). The site uses

the same flyer that the store uses for sales. It costs $6,50 to have an order

delivered and if you pick certain delivery times they take $1.50 off and they

give you coupons for free deliveries if you use if once every month or two

months. I particularly like using it for the heavy things and awkward things.

If you don't have Peapod in you area there are other sites that deliver

groceries from orders over the Internet.

I think most of us try not to complain. That is what this site is for though,

so we don't have to complain to others in our lives. And to give the support

where needed also. And of course to pass along any info that might be helpful.

Or just to chat.

Going to bed earlier might help a lot. If you went to bed just a hour earlier

you would get 8 hours and that might be enough to make you feel better.

Hope all goes well,

Marti

Thanks so much for the replies. I know that I'm not alone here.

About 80% of the time or so, people wouldn't even know that I was in

pain. I try not to complain about things and make the best of the

situation I've been given.

There is so much that I need to work on, it's just so difficult to

figure out where to start. Insomnia is a huge issue. I NEED and

enjoy my alone time at night. So I generally don't get to bed until

2 am. I get up around 9 am most days. I know this isn't enough

sleep, it's so hard to break the cycle.

The fibro fog is a huge issue also. I've been thinking that I might

also have ADD, but have never been diagnosed.

There are many times that I get to the grocery store only to be

barely making it to the cashier and then to the car. I've called my

hubby a couple of times to come rescue me, because I was in so much

pain and exhausted. It's like I just need to sit and can't continue.

I am about 80 lbs over weight and know that I need to lose that, but

the pain, depression, lack of sleep, etc and it all becomes too much.

I am going to try very hard to work on journaling. I know that it

will help to pinpoint when I'm having a flare up and areas that I

need help or to work on.

I am looking forward to getting to know more of you here.

Blessings,

Deb in MN

WOW! That's more than my mortgage payment, which I will get rid of when I sell

this place. I can barely get by paying the co-pays of $2500./year. And mine

too does not include anything but prescriptions. My insurance is $797.00/month

- which will be gone soon too when I can't pay for it any anymore and have to go

on Medicaid. I don't think my doctors will take Medicaid so I don't know what I

will do. Of course if I have to move to Boston to live with my son I will have

to change my wonderful doctors anyway. I will lose so much in that move. I

just keep hoping something miraculous will happen and I can find a place around

here with housing vouchers - but they are 3 - 5 years behind, depending on the

town so that would mean public housing until them. I guess I would rather move

to Boston than do that.

Anyway, I don't know how you do it. That is over $18,000/year. I will only

be making $11,000/year. Does your insurance plan not cover drugs? I'm really

sorry you have to pay that much. It must be terribly hard.

I hope things get better after your move to Phoenix.
