great! that's just a few weeks away, just enough time to get your house in order. I am looking forward to seeing your life change.

That's awesome!

oooo! so excited for you! looking forward to knowing the "when"

Awesome!

Congrats.

oh good! I hate the way I feel when my BP is off. I am just now coming off all BP meds and that is also scary for me.

sounds like a fun event

How about, "Help!!! skater just flew over the rail! Bones exposed!!!

And.. You are MORE than enough. If anyone disagrees, F'em!!

Well, you know I think so.

LOL at y'all.

You were great on the vaping thread, BTW.

I didn't do it. For the record. I DIDN'T DO IT.

Come on in. The water's fine!

Bumps in the road, my friend. These too, you shall overcome. What's going on? What did you doctor offer for advice? Yes, I'm nosy, but I really care too.

I agree with @Valentina just a bump in the road....continue on my friend.......

LOL. The doc doing the "supervised diet" actually was questioning my PCP's choice in BP meds, and wants to put me on diet pills. LOL. NO. I had to have a cardiac procedure after the last time I was prescribed a stimulant. Honestly, I think his scales are off, my PCP's scales read very differently only a few days before, and I hadn't been binging or anything.. My insurance doesn't have a weight loss requirement in the supervised diet phase, so I'm hoping a slight gain by his count doesn't affect the decision. To be honest, I resent the insurance company requirement, and haven't been adhering to the diet plan with the RA fatigue and everything, it's super hard to stick to plan. :/

let us know how it goes!

let us know how it goes!

Lol

You're a smart gal. You'll think of something--just leave the poor primates alone!!

Poor monkeys. Even they don't deserve to be tormented by insurance companies. Stand strong. Sometimes I think ins. companies just try to wear us down--hoping we will just give up.

One of my least favorite institutions - my the promises they make until it is time to pay

I'm just frustrated. I submitted $700 in therapy bills from a provider I found on my insurance website, she's in-network. The superbills all had her name, her NPI # and her license #. They don't show her license type. The insurance company took 2 weeks for this to show up on the website, and it's marked as "miscellaneous provider", out of network, and pending getting the provider's name, degree, license type, and license #. I called to find out if they're getting that from her, or if I need to do something, since no one has contacted me. The nice lady on the phone said no, they haven't contacted the provider because they didn't have contact information. Her phone number and email are on the superbill. I told her that most of the information they need is on the bill, and the provider is in-network, that's how I found her. She said "oh, that's odd. Let me try putting it in and submitting it. But I don't know if they'll take it verbally, or if we need it in writing". Insurance companies will do anything to keep from paying claims. I have extensive experience fighting them (I had a knee surgery that they considered experimental and investigational - but it wasn't, I wore them down but it took 8 months) so I'll not give up, but gosh, I hate insurance companies.
