ita, you should do it if a practitioner you trust is saying it's going to help you with the pain. UHC is my (evil) health insurance co. They outsource their mental health to UBH, which they own (I don't understand it). I pay an awful lot of my medical costs out of pocket because insurance companies tend to write off the treatments that work best for TOS as too alternative. But I do it because if I don't, I'll get so bad that I'll be unable to hold a job at all. And at least it can be deducted from taxes (if you have a flex spending plan or if your medical expenses are 7% or more of your income - which mine are).
Constant or chronic pain ruins your quality of life. If you believe that biofeedback will eventually lead to being in a lot less pain, then it's worth it. It's better than any little black dress, any strappy sandals, any pretty knives. It'll help you enjoy your life so much more to not be in pain.
I have enough out of pocket medical expenses, Spidra, that I just can't face doing this too. I'm already seeing four different people for the same stupid headaches. If there's stress involved in the fifth, I don't have it in me.
However, my plan indicates it
is
covered, so now I have to track this biofeedback lady down and tell her they're being a pain. OR talk to the insurance people.
Irony? Of course all this has given me a headache.
Vienna invented therapy.
Virginia or West Virginia?

West Virginia, as Virginia still thinks there is a Santa Clause.
It's 36 degrees here!
No wonder it felt warm out!
Also, ita's third link is not news.

No, if you live in Virginia, you have to give up the Sanity Clause.
Why did I listen to voicemail? Why did this person have to use the phrase "reinvent the wheel"? You're asking me to do your job for you! There is no fucking wheel!
I need to go ask my managers how they would like me to tell this woman to fuck off and die.
ita's third link is not news.
No, but it does bear noting. Fairly often.
I had cancelled the biofeedback appointment when the lady called with the no-coverage news. I managed to track her down again with my benefits coverage in front of me and tell her it was covered and for her to reinstate it. She waffled a bit, but now she believes me and is going to bat against the insurance company.
Weird that they told her it wasn't covered. As noted upthread, they're
good
insurance, and haven't given much trouble at all, considering.

C'mon, everyone knows there's no such thing as Sanity Clause.
