@dbeshears1 Debbie - I'd like to agree with you and comment on your closing statement about having more respect and understanding about other folks also fighting challenges. I went to a quick convenience food store 2 weeks ago and as I'm approaching the door walking with my cane, another person also walking with a cane approached the door. His walking was worse than mine, so I grabbed the door and opened it for him. He smiled at me and said thanks. Then, noticed I too walked with a cane and said, "do you wanna race". We both laughed. On my way out, someone else opened and held the door for me. Ed

Talk about psychological frustration. I’m on Medicare MVP I have to say how ridiculous it is and how stressful it could be every time my doctor submits medication they deny it so what does that mean? It means my doctor sends in the medication I need and then some asinine doctors review it and decide maybe I don’t need it Now. Luckily, I can afford to pay for medicines, but there are many people out there who can’t and struggle with this asinine policy of Medicare and Medicaid you know I can understand how people get upset and do crazy things for one fortunate enough again to be able to pay for my medication And also have underlying medical insurance which for the most part does Jack shit anyway talking about the physical, working its way into the psychological spent hours on the phone today. Don’t understand how anyone would want to work the phone banks to tell people that they’ve been denied one of the medications I take Actually too actually three gabapentin pregabalin and MODAFINIL are addictive you do go through withdrawals why I have to fight with insurance company Medicare Medicaid United healthcare over this is absolutely absurd. We’re the richest country in the world and we have the worst health system. I’m not gonna go into politics anyway just passing it along. You know sharing on this site really is a good thing. I feel much better now a little poorer but expressing myself helps to lower my anxiety level, which for the most heart I usually have in control. Have a great day.
