doctors & Ins.-allergy to rice bowl

[Guest guest]

I live in MI and cannot find a doctor-and the co-cure list had ONE that was

about 3 hours one way drive from me (do-able IF he is good), but my

insurance wasn't excepted! I BEGGED the receptionist to let me self pay -

she said it's about $600 (I have donated more than that to my crappy doctor

in the past year anyway). So, i'm waiting to call back for a new appt. when

the receptionist doesn't remember me... as the receptionist kept saying 'I

have knowledge of your insurance, so I cannot help you'.

I also cannot bring myself to go see a doctor. My last one offered me

antidepressants (for dealing with humiliating, depressing doctors like

herself), NSAIDs (to ruin my stomach, so she'd have something she COULD

enjoy treating, I think)

whenever i've eaten at red lobster, I get the feeling that my lungs are

filling up with fluid. My husband eats the rice bowl thingys, I tried one

and it was so darn spicy hot!! I picked the vegetables and shrimp out. I

can't eat that sort of thing anymore (without paying for it for days).

Again this is just coming from what has worked for me, but you would be

impressed as to how anti-depressants help. When your body tells your brain

that you are in constant pain your brain eats up the seritonin that is

already in your brain. Seritonin is one of the chemicals that helps to keep

you happy )~

If your brain is getting that constant signal like we fibro's send...then

that means that our brain has no seritonin to do its many other duties that

special little chemical does. So therefore going on the anti-depressant helps

keep the seritonin level up in the punkin which helps keep you less depressed

and it also helps with alot of other things, but like I said this is just

coming from what has worked for me. I am on Effexor XR 350 mg. Hopes this

helps.

Good luck, ...I share your anxiety over this issue. I am so

repulsed over it after repeated episodes of doctor searching every

time my husband's insurance coverage changes, and this has been going

on repeatedly for 15 years of illness...UGH!! I'm tired of being

dictated to by these stinking ins. companies who would rather we (A)

Be 100% well and pay our premiums like good little money-making

clients, or ( Get terminally ill and die quickly and as less

expensively as possible. Gee, sorry--NO CAN DO.

I was hoping that congress was finally going to address this

escalating issue but with first the Clinton scandal and now the

terrorism issue, there is no way it is going to get front-burner

attention, so this will just be allowed to get worse. Scary thought!

Ok, I'll stop ranting now.
