Thank you who have expressed well wishes and concerns about me being sick. I think things are taking a turn for the better. I am still somewhat sick. Some other medical conditions are causing the healing time to be longer than normal. The illness was enhanced by some other conditions.
I was supposed to undergo some tests and surgical procedures in 2022. Unfortunately, my Dr./clinic stopped accepting Marketplace Insurance.
All local clinics stopped accepting it. I had insurance for 2022, but could not drive to a Dr. The closest Dr. was 45 minutes away, but it was a small clinic. I was told to just get an appointment with another Dr. in their system that would have taken me over 2 hours to get there.
For 2023, the Specialists I was working with in 2021 are covered by my new insurance. Unfortunately, the primary I had in 2021 has retired.
Looking forward to getting a new Dr. This will be the 5th one in 5 years. I always liked having the same Dr. for multiple years. It often takes half a year to establish a relationship and for them to understand you and your needs.
I am fortunate that I have a medical background and can often treat myself for somethings.
Anyways, I really appreciate the well wishes, support and concern of my RTH family.

You're welcome, Beth. I understand insurance issues all too well. I need a medicine that insurance won't cover.
Glad you're feeling better.

Tela, didn't want to really like your post, but no other option. Meds, medical care are so tough right now for so many.

Glad you're feeling better, Beth. Being sick sucks. rockjunquie have you checked into Goodrx or any of those other ones? What I need is a biological for the psoriasis on my hands. One in particular, works very well. My old insurance paid for it. This one won't. The cost even with help is astronomical. No can do.
