OMG, Renee, I hope hubby gets somewhere. That is the dumbest thing I have heard. I understand they want you to see in network, get that. But it's hard to see in network when they say they can't take you or you at at a point in your disease that making those rounds isn't a possibility. UGH!!! It looks like you'll have to make the usual rounds to get to see who you want to. But not giving you anything to relieve the pain until you get into someone's practice is unacceptable, period. This new PCP sounds like another winner. I am so sorry about that. I hope hubby goes to the top of chain if needed.

:hug: for NaeNae.

and more :hug:

:hug: Renee, :hug: OMG. I can't believe that. Understand the in network thing, but when things have gotten bad it's time for the doc to help you work other things out. Grrr. this made me upset too. Hope your hubby pulls through for you.

I'll add another round of hugs. :hug:

Renee, Just when I get a litle upset with my HMO (took them an hour today to do my blood draw because they did not know what number to enter into the computer (test has never been ordered before) or what kind of vial to use for my blood), I read about the problems you are having with the military medical bureaucracy. I really can't add anything to what has been said. Just know that we do care!:grouphug:

Sick and damned tired of feeling sick and tired...think I'm gonna go out today and dye my hair purple or something...maybe easter egg pink!

ureteral spasms killin me and the chest wall spasms.....think I'm movin to a legalized herbal state!

Renee, How about pink or purple streaks that will wash out in a few weeks? That could be fun. Or green for St Patty's day? :D

:hug: sorry to hear the spasms are driving you nuts. Wish I had some advice on that.

We're at a level 2 snow emergency. That means "don't go out unless you have to". Level 3, the next one up, means "only emergency vehicles allowed on road. you may be arrested if you're out there"

Lots and Lots of snow and wind. Gonna be inside for sure today. When the wind picks up, can't see the houses behind us. Definitely not driving weather.

At least I have my comfy robe and my coffee to help me stay warm. :)

Renee, I vote for pink or aqua. I am so sorry you are dealing with all of this:sorry:

Fin lady -- spring has to come sometime, doesn't it? I just talked to my mother who lives in Northeastern Ohio (East Liverpool) and she is so sick of the weather and so bored because she has not been able to get out much this winter. She lives by herself and is turning 80 in June.

I just go the results of my bloodwork for liver in the mail (had test on Thursday -- can't believe how fast they were) and everything was within normal ranges:D Now I just have to be patient (not my forte) and wait for the results of my antibodies test.:rolleyes:

Went to the new Walgreens today; opened yesterday. There were lots of people there. I just thought I would let you know how exciting life is here in central Illinois.:yikes:

Dealing with some leg spasms and back pain today. The cold seems to make my symptoms worse.

Eek! Don't do that!! :eek: You might be mistaken for a PEEP!!! :icon_eek:

the upside?

set NaeNae to a microwave Peep Duel against the military medical bureaucracy, and I'd be willing to bet that Renee would *puncture* their mangy butts!

:D:p:D

PS: I vote for BLUE hair!

(((Renee))) Sorry you aren't feeling well. Keeping my fingers crossed that you start feeling some relief SOON!

Fin - sounds like a good way to spend a Saturday. Did you watch movies and have some popcorn too? I used to love Saturday's like that. I only can pretend now. LOL.

YEAH! That is good news. I hope the antibodies test comes back normal. What a relief that will be.

Kay - Renee is far too young for blue hair. Forget the Easter colors. I think bombshell blonde. It'll make her feel like a million bucks! She needs that right now. We can call her Marilyn. LOL.

I am so sorry I haven't been posting much. The fatigue was increased with a cold. DANG! I did drink my Emergen-C drink faithfully 2 times a day and kicked it. Still suffering from the dreaded fatigue.:mad: We had family in town too. So I had to be extra careful to get my naps in.

Today is a good kick back day. Took a nice 2 1/2 hour nap.:D:p I feel more on top of things than I have all week. Of course that on top of things means, I made my bed this morning. LOL j/k.
