Update:
I still have the same issues when it comes to reacting to Iodine in food.
I thought I was getting treatment at the Mayo clinic. One of their Allergy Specialist “accepted” me and I was told my case was unique and challenging so they wanted to test and treat me.I had to send in a financial statement from the past two years. I was declined by the review committee with no explanation even when I asked for one. I assume it was because I had made too much during that two year period & they did not take into account that I have been out of work and that my wife & I lost $3800 a month in accounts due to “stuff” beyond our control.Confusing :-)The Doctor would still test and treat me but I had to pay out of pocket as I go so the result is a no.
I should have had health insurance in place before this occured but I had prior health issues such as diabetes etc and so much was considered pre existing and it was so costly..I rolled the dice and lost.. Bad gamble..
I have good days so I try to get as much done as possible on those days. I got so tired of sitting around and doing nothing.I am not very good at doing nothing.I found that to be more stressful than normal work stress. I work on the days I can.
NC now has a program in place that offers health insurance to the persons who are otherwise uninsurable because of pre existing conditions. I hope to fit that in my budget and get the coverage. I will try to figure out what to do from there.
My family has continued to be awesome and their love and support is wonderful.
I am Blessed beyond measure in almost every other area of life.
A big thank you to all who have/are praying. I appreciate it!
Thanks for the update.
So much for being concerned with people’s health, eh? It’s frustrating that the chance to learn from research is trumpted by money.
I have been praying for you and will continue to do so.
I have seen no change in my condition either, which is good news and bad news. I can’t eat any more. OTOH, the last couple things I can eat haven’t dropped out either.
Come that day, I’ll be logging on to say my good-byes because the options for medical nutrition are likely to be out as well because of the ingredients in them. However, God is good and has been doing wondwerful things in my life spiritually. To live is Christ, to die is gain.
I will pray that they’d reconsider their decision and that the insurance/financial issues would be resolved. People don’t realize what a hit on your finances it is being chronically, debilitatingly (yeah, I know it’s not a word) ill can be. If there’s anything else that you specifically need prayer for, let me know any time.
I send my prayers to you. If their is a special snack you remember that you love I will send it to you. FReepmail the particulars, a prayer is wrapped in it.
Prayers continue for you both that your immunity/allergy problems can be identified and resolved. That all obstacles are removed so that this can be accomplished.
I will pray that you both and others suffering from pain and chronic problems find relief.
