@member8675309 so far no luck because I am limited by my Medicaid. Literally limited to my immediate area which has nothing close to the care I need, without getting a specialized care agreement. Which is the next steps. Just annoying because due to my insurance, I've been denied even before being considered in most places. So I really have only a couple options now, and those aren't even looking likely. But everything else you've said is exactly what I've done/been doing for 5 years. Therapy, meds, Drs, constant care appointments, dismissiveness, letting Drs know ahead of time, focusing on my main helpful Drs who are willing to listen. I have all the bullet points. Drs see that and wonder how it's all so technical. No way a patient can know all this. Then automatically assume you used AI. It's a cyclical process that is literally making the most vulnerable almost impossible to get care. And yes, malnutrition is a major concern right now, but also so are the increasing pulling, tugging, and bulging feelings from my bowel adhesion at my hernia mesh location. So as Drs ignore me or dismiss me, I just get worse closer to an emergency and yet they will sleep fine at night that they protected their business and their liabilities. While locally I get told "there's nothing to be done" because the system and personal requirements say to say that instead of "I'm not actually qualified for this, you're right and this is what I'd recommend". Outside of constant testing, not one single Dr of mine I've seen who has the ability to, has verified or validated anything I've presented to them. Only dismissed as inoperable.
