So I got a hold of my OBGYN today to explain the dilemma with the wonder drug that has been discontinued. Apparently, there was no acceptable alternative to her. She referred me to a pharmacy that would blend a medication just for me. Turns out they don’t submit to insurance and it would be anywhere from $75-$150 a month for me to have my medications. Now I don’t know about you guys out there, but I don’t have an extra $75-$150 a month because I am paying for insurance that is supposed to help with this kind of expense. *sigh* Thankfully, this pharmacy did some research and found a few alternatives (after I blubbered on the phone about having no money and that I feel I was robbed of my vitality, GAWD I am hormonal). So, we are going to try those. Good news, It was about $20 less than the Estratest! WOOHOO!! So hopefully this will work out! And hopefully that “sexual healing” will continue…. I am still impatiently waiting for a woman’s version of “the little blue pill”.
Now if we can just get the other stuff straight, we will be good. Did I mention my other doctor just got my blood work back, and it was CRAZY!? I have to go in for a 2 hour blood sugar test, and they are re-submitting my blood for further review of my thyroid function and iron levels. *sigh* I hate going to the doctor. I swear once I get healthy I am not going back. Anyone out there who is on the brink of being obese…..PUT THE CHOCOLATE DOWN!!! PUT THE FRIED CHICKEN DOWN!!!! GET UP OFF YOUR BUTT AND TAKE A WALK AROUND THE BLOCK!!! EAT A CARROT OR SOMETHING!!! Being fat IS NOT worth going through this kind of crap! Having that serving of homemade macaroni or those enchiladas is not worth risking your life. Because essentially, that is what you are doing (as I type while sitting on my 283 lb ass). I am trying to change my perception. I haven’t been successful yet ( I want chocolate or something really fattening SO BAD), but what do they say “Try Try Try again!” I will be successful it is just harder and going to take longer than I was hoping. But ultimately, I have no choice. My family is worth the world to me and I need to be healthy for them.
I took the day off to spend some needed time with my youngest child today. We had a blast (when I wasn’t blubbering about my medical crap). We even took a nap together. He paints an awesome volcano! The laundry still isn’t done, and it still looks like a bomb went off in my house, but I don’t mind. I wouldn’t give up my day with him for that stuff anyway! AND my 8-year-old had an AWESOME week! She is FINALLY not grounded anymore! PRAISE GOD! I am SO proud of all her hard work. I have been getting her cards. You have seen the commercials for Hallmark with the cards made just to cheer kids on. Well, I will have to say that I have bought a few, and on the days I gave those to her, she had a great day. She told me tonight that the cards really help. AND you can get one FREE at your local Hallmark! I am a BIG fan of free!
