My Health Update 10/23/2014

On Wednesday I tried to refill my prescriptions. The pharmacist called to tell me that all them were rejected by my insurance because, it EXPIRED! Now, since I had to quit working, I have had to depend on Medicaid to cover my medical expenses. Great, that is fine. But when I expire without notice? That is a huge problem.

Calling the Department of Human Services is no easy task. It takes about 40 phone calls over the course of several days to finally get a hold of anyone. Of course, that person can't help you. So I explain ever so... Dramatically, that I will DIE without my medication and oxygen. Of course, my oxygen concentrator went out too!

Still waiting to hear back from DHS. He did call back. But of course, I missed his call and he left no message. I called 4 more times and got no answer. After spending all day on the phone, I took a nap! LOL

Have any of you had issues like this with your insurer?

Let me know in the comments, or shoot me an email!

I would love to know if anyone else has had to deal with anything this.

Have a great day my friends!

Am I Unworthy Of Love Because I Have COPD?

COPD apps. UPDATED 11/24/14

APPS... Whether you love them or hate them, they are here too stay. I have found them to be a great way to help manage my COPD, and give me something to do when I am feeling too down to do much of anything. Sure there are games, you can even read books, watch videos. But, I am talking about the apps that are going to help you live better. The apps I have inserted links for , are all for Android, because that is what I am currently using. There is a good chance they are in the iTunes App store as well. And, all are for America. But of course, there are many great apps for other countries. Check them out! There are apps to help you manage and take your medications on time, remind you to refill them, and keep a log of all of this to take to the Dr. office . The most comprehensive app I have found for this is the MediSafe Meds and Pill Reminder. I love it! The apps listed here are not COPD specific. They can be used for many...

Recommended blogs.

These blogs are great! For some, like myself, I love to read! I love to learn about everything! Especially, reading to learn about how to cope with my chronic illness! Hearing the stories others share on their blogs and websites is inspiring to say the least. Here is a list of the blogs and websites I read and recommend to others. COPD is such a complex illness. Everyone has a different experience, and for some, it is just one of many illnesses we must cope with. So, I do not discriminate. These blogs cover a everything. Not all are specifically COPD related . But, they are about life , hope, and healing.
