Appointed Stress, Take Two

In the spirit of appointments, I need to make two more. Sigh.

One is very much needed (aren't they all) -- Opthamologist. I've been putting off my yearly exam for two years. Lame. Not really, I'm just without insurance, savings, back up and well, yeah, duh, money. I really need an updated prescription too.

The next appointment is a follow up with my Gynecologist. It's been two months since I have been back on the brand name pill. Nothing much has changed; not worse, not better. But that one week a month is taking a toll. It is reeking havoc on me mentally. To say I am a mess is a severe understatement. I am still experiencing night sweats and sleeping, well, eludes me. It all makes me crazy. To many I seem psychotic (if you haven't obtained a PhD, stfu). Mood swings? Yes, they happen. Anxiety is high. Depression is in full swing. Once a month. Every month. Thanks hormones, hate you too.

I've discussed all of this with my Physician, my Endo, my Gyno. No one has answers. Some offer tests (not many deem necessary though) but I've seen the bills....I don't have that kind of money.

All of my Doctor's know my predicament. They all know I don't have insurance. They all know I have Type 1 Diabetes. They all know I work part time. They all know. None of them have offered much help though. The good 'ole "the bill is in the mail" is about all they offer. Uh, didn't have the money in the first place, don't anticipate having it later. One offers a discount (HA!) if I pay at time of service.

Update to yesterday's post: my General Dentist; who is handsome, kind, funny and way awesome, did not charge me for my 45 minute consult. Nice. No antibiotics. A couple plans were discussed. Plan A is laughable due to the cost. Plan B seems doable. We'll see. Progress. Small progress but progress.

I need a Splenda Daddy. I should play the lottery.
When in the hell are those darn pigs gonna fly and drop much needed money seeds?! When!?

This stress has got to end at some point, right? Light at the end of the tunnel, where art thou?

Oh, just knock me out and let me sleep. Sheesh.

I'm really sorry that your stress is at such a level. We all have moments of stress but your's is definitely more complicated. You do need to take care of yourself as we'd like you to be around for awhile.
I have no advice, just wishes that it will be better, soon.
