DENIED

Well Yesterday I received from my health insurance a denial letter for one of the three meds I need for treatment.  I understand they mean well and they mentioned I can appeal.  But after receiving that I of course searched the internet to find why are they so concerned about my treatment, enough to deny me.

Well it appears they may have reason, the drug denied is an inhibitor, which was already in the drug regimen I had.  I was cleared of all virus in my blood work two consecutive months we then ended treatment. 

On my 6 months check up its back.  I use this example lightly.......So I see their thinking and science as     Oh the virus was handled but appeared again so we have a new resistent type in her blood work now.

So of course I call my Drs office and receive a call back this afternoon that, yes the denial is in fact true, no recourse to look to the pharmacitical company, and no studies at close universities that I Qualify For.

So we monitor my blood work every six months and try not to cry wolf.  (LOL)

I was in work mode and called my oldest daughter and ask please call the other 2 and let them know.
I think she is taking it much harder than I am.  But on the up side eating my homemade mozrella and have some items planted in the garden.  Have my bean seeds on the table waiting on the cold snap to pass and Spring to peak its head around the corner.

Lots of topic updates

Well the insurance has denied one of the medicines I need, basically the inhibitor medicine.  They say I was on it last year and will not approve it. I will see if the Dr. is able to appeal.  If not I ask the pharamacy if the maker has an approval program and they do.  That will be my next approach.

I was kind of wishing for that a denial so just not to go thru the therapy again.  Just call me scaredy cat.  My third child was born natural (not by choice)  and that was way too much pain for me.

I have been working in my yard, I raked (cleaned the alley way).  Bought 3 blueberry plants, 2 grapes and installed three 4x4's for my trellis system.  Next is to drill holes insert coated wire, tension that wire down.
Oh and found a lone asparagus that must have been planted last year. 
Ordered a dehydrator (just for fun) and my seeds for this year.  I scaled back thinking of the treatment.

And on another note I did buy myself new bra and panties.  Worked out old medical bill payment options.
