Oh da pain

Posted by bobt8 @bobt8, 8 hours ago

I believe I may have mentioned this previously but over the years I have become a chronic pain professional fighting every day to fight off all the mental anguish we all suffer from and can’t seem to beat. I live in Massachusetts, I am disabled and I am on Medicare and Medicaid. I hate it…BUT I, through my government insurance plan am now involved with palliative care on the recommendation of the the insurance companies. It’s kinda like hospice but the palliative care medical person works with your PCP to help find ways to help you with your issues and find solutions to help. There is no charge to the patient, covered by the insurance company and has really been a huge benefit to me. Doesn’t hurt to ask your insurance company about palliative care, I got lucky with mine, maybe someone out there could benefit from that program as well.
