Yeah, I feel like it's a very normal twitch, but it still hurts enough to wake me up!
Thanks for offers of help—made it back to Seattle last night, am in a friend's guest room. But still freaking out a lot.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can see that. It's a lot to suddenly change. I think some wailing and gnashing of teeth might be appropriate.

Oh, are you fucking kidding me. In August, they sent me a letter saying that a prior authorization was needed for my migraine med starting 10/1. I got the doctor's office to send them a PA. They sent me another letter saying that a PA wasn't needed, so it was dismissed.
This month, they need a PA! Apparently since the other PA was sent before October, they just...threw it away? So it didn't count? So we have to run in circles again?

Our wings are not tired.
A real competition between insurance companies and the GOP for most evil enterprises.

Dana, when they did that to me, they specified in like April that they'd stop covering in July but also that a prior authorization had to wait until it had first been denied (in July) which I agree makes no sense.
Called the appointment line and the lady was like "I don't see that on the list so let me leave a message for them to call you when they open". Which is not encouraging. I'm tempted to just go to the ER right now. Because I'm in pain. But the actual clinic didn't open until just now so I'm telling myself I should wait a few minutes, maybe call back in a few. But...

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
This is the first problem I've had with them since we switched in April, including with prescriptions. They lulled me into a false sense of security.

I just double-checked both letters. All the first letter said was that it would require a PA starting 10/1, and that my doctor needed to submit one. The second letter said it was dismissed because the PA wasn't required. No mention of 10/1 in the second letter.
I mean, I guess if I read between the lines very carefully I could have figured it out?

Thrive to spite them
I hate insurance.
I also hate hurricanes. Michael is headed town where Matthew and I are on vacation. It will be a Cat 1 or 2 or 3 or just a tropical storm. And should hit Wednesday.
Matthew and I will go to Dad's. He is at the beach now and will go back today and tomorrow Matthew and I will go to dad's. Giving us at least 1 night alone on our vacation.
We don't have to be back until Sunday so we are staying in Tallahassee hoping that it won't be too bad and we can have a st least one more day at the beach.

Coding and Sleeping
Good luck, meara.
Lot of work stress today and I missed a text from my wife and now she's super mad and texting me about how I don't care about her and not to bother denying it. I thought I was starting to do better, but then I'm stupid and make a mistake and everything is lost. I'm so stressed down that I'm feeling physically sick. I just wish I could make it all stop.
