LOL, LOL! Oh, I know I'm not! Would you accept "able to function in daily life"? That I can do.

Good for you for getting help, and you'll be in our prayers, that you encounter competent and compassionate medical professionals.

Give Bear a bellyrub for me, okay?

Thanks guys. I have to wait a couple of weeks, as I found a company I can get health benifits from, but only for non prior stuff. So I have to try to cope until I get accepted & then go to the Dr.

If the meds weren't so horribly costly I'd just pay from my pocket. But I was told that it'll cost me 100-200/month

I'm not that rich

Isn't that the limit. Could you ask your doctor to give you physician's samples until your health insurance coverage comes through. I can't send you the pack my doctor gave me because of mailing it across state lines. They might have to ring their pharmaceutical rep and have some brought over but it is worth it for your well-being.

I cannot go to the Dr. cause it'll go on my reccord & I'll get denyed by the company

I told my dad what I was doing & he was all happy. He looked into it while I was sleeping this morning & called me at work.. he was worried I had already seen a dr. Luckly I didn't... I could tap into Chad's meds, but the problem is, what if they put me on other stuff & its taking more pils away from Chad & he needs everyone too.

Its been pretty bad since last night & I've never had it like this for this long, so its really stressful on me & making me really tired. Not sure why its making me tired, but I feel weak & sooooo sleepy.

My chest feels like Chad is sitting on it, or its filled with bricks... I can easly go into minor shock (minor shakes, hotflashes on my back & a not so happy feeling stomach)... Its annoying as heck, esp the hot back... It feels like waves of heat dancing on the right side of my back... Its usually on all of my lower back, but not today... its weird.

One more question for you King2005 - Would your shelter arrange to place both Bear and Mr. Biggles in another home for awhile until you get your health under control? I know they both have special needs but having the responsibility and the financial burden for them removed for awhile might be a help to you.
