Hi everyone,
Well the infamous trip to the Dr's office for Oxygen has went out the window as quick as it came!! My Ins. Co. IS NOT going to pay for O2!! And my Doc said that his approach all these yrs in regards to my Ch's have been "sissified" and that is gonna change!(read post #2) After being on depakote for a long time, we've discontinued that and went straight for Lithobid, steroid treatment and a 72 hr. pain patch! And I'm thinking, "well, ok..I didnt get the O2, but my Dr' seems really psyched up about this whole new aggressive approach"! I get to the pharmacy and my Ins. Co. will not pay for anything except the steroids! The pain patch is $279.00 for 24 day supply and the Lith. is $98.00!:( I'm deciding at this point which bank I'm gonna rob, so I go home empty handed! But there WAS some good news.....someone is watching THIS site!!(cont post#2)
