Re: not coping

I hope the dr can give you some answers @outlander Perhaps going to the ED will help, will get to the bottom of some things.

Wishing you a good day today 💗💗

Re: not coping

it might be cheaper as well @Snowie the mri scans are around $400. medical things are so expensive its a wonder people can actually afford them esp if they are unable to work.

Medical things are so expensive @outlander Perhaps going into the ED, you can get the MRI through the public system and it will save you a lot.

I have to go have a procedure soon and I will be out of pocket about $600. I can't even get any of that money back on private health cover. I sometimes wonder why I even pay for it.

Re: not coping

oh my gosh @Snowie so expensive and even worse the insurance doesnt cover it or some at least.

my insurance i do have to say has been amazing. while its bad in some cases and not everthings covered or can be expensive. it has been worth it for me.

Re: not coping

I'm glad it has been worth it for you @outlander We certainly need to get our moneys worth.

My insurance is covering some, just not enough.

I always get new glasses, dentist visits and other things for all of us every year even if we don't need them. I figure I might as well use as much extras as possible. I am paying for a service, so I might as well use it!!

I did shop around awhile ago for better cover and was able to change it and pay a little less so that was worth it too.

Have you got any plans for today?

I hope the GP can get to the bottom of it for you @outlander.

I hope you have a good day considering

Re: not coping

I don’t use my optical as much but dentist and massage physio etc everything else @Snowie
Plus it’s been really good for my hospitality visits.

I am just getting abit of cleaning done. I’ve gotten the dishes vacuuming and the washing done but my headaches getting too bad even with pain killers.

I also have work today so I’m hoping all the washing dries in time to at least bring in. Can save the folding for tomorrow lol

What about you

Thank you @Captain24 I see my Dr tomorrow for headaches plus the pain in my leg as well that’s causing a lot of extra grief.

How’s your day going
