Im back! I haven't felt well so I haven't written in awhile. I've been facing some new challenges. I've had another flare and the Plaquenil has been doing numbers on my stomach and has pretty much got rid of any appetite I had, resulting in me losing 7lbs this last week.
I've been looking for some type of medical coverage since I started getting sick. I'm considered high risk so I've been denied over and over. I was told to go to the Medicaid office to see if they could give me any information on where to try next. The lady told me the only way that they could help me was if I got pregnant. My mom was with me when this happened and she's not a very quiet person her sarcastic reply was "Seriously you're saying she needs get pregnant to get insurance? hmm guess we need to start interviewing candidates." Yes the trips to doctors, all of the tests and meds are expensive but there's no way I am getting pregnant just to get help. I found it hilarious that would even be an option though I have heard of people doing that.
I was told about a high risk insurance for people who are denied due to pre-existing conditions. I looked into it and found that the government had closed the program to new enrollment March 2,2013. So for now I'm still on the search for what to do....there has to be something I can do!
