[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Buffistas are good for the soul - in case anyone ever doubted.
Today is my first day back at work and I'm having a worse time switching gears back into work mode than I did after my Spring Training vacation.
I'm still basking in the memories, or at least the ones I remember (hush).
I am trying to figure out if it is possible to drive and nap at the same time. really, I can't complain, because I am just going back to work for the first time , but still....
I need advice.
About what?
I need advice.
Buy low, sell high.
Don't run with scissors, don't feed gremlins after midnight, don't light a match to check the gas furnace.
I need advice.
Never turn down a free meal.
Does anyone here like real bats (cc: Jilli)? There are insects in the picture, because a bat's gotta eat. There are no *r*chnids, as as far as I can tell, anyhow. [link]
I'm usually very good about being an advocate in my own healthcare. But, today I totally froze. I am a candidate for Xolair, but chances are really good neither of my insurance companies will pay for it without a fight. And the doctor said I sounded pretty good today. And my breathing test was better than last time.
So, after all this, he wants me to stay on my current med regimen and see how I do for the next six weeks, then we'll decide if we should fight for the Xolair.
I have a difficult time communicating with this doctor, and I just didn't feel up to fighting or trying to explain my reasoning why I thought we should go ahead with fighting for the treatment.
Should I call the office and leave a message saying that after thinking about it more I think we should try to start fighting with insurance? Should I call and talk to my PCP and ask her advice? Or, should I wait the six weeks?
If I recall correctly vw, you are comfortable with your PCP, right? I think I might call her, ask her advice and/or see if she'll advocate for you with the allergists (or pulmonologist, or whoever it is you saw). Maybe you could confide that you don't seem able to connect with this doctor and found it difficult to advocate for yourself.
