*nods* I hear you guys.
It recently got to where I was skipping medications in order to pay bills and keep food on the table... if it's between buying pills or feeding my daughter, well there's no choice there. I was trying to keep my head down about it but my folks found out and gave me a lend to pay for the expensive ones I hadn't been getting, thankfully they'll be covered again as of April 1st.....
I'm keeping my chin up only because a lot of my health issues now are from a car crash I was in back in 2000, so all this $ I've had to shell out is coming back to me eventually via the lawsuit against the guy that hit me.
I've been tempted once or twice to take out a couple of huge life insurance policies on myself, name my family as benefactors and well, you know... thankfully been shown how stupid that is, but the places your mind and emotions wander can be really bizarre and sad when you're staggering under the weight of medical bills, and every time you mail in an application for 'free care' they send it back with stupid technicalities denying it and you have to do it all over again....
All I can tell the other folks who're in this kind of mess is, keep your head up, there's a way out eventually.
