I intend to write up a whole post about how to push at your insurance company. Another two or three hours total on the phone today, with three different people. Got to the Rapid Resolution Specialist’s supervisor, who contacted *her* supervisor, who got my claim to a claims manager (I know have a claim number) […]

It really is stunning how many spoons get taken up arguing with five different people at three different medical companies for two and a half hours, then breaking and spending all afternoon and evening prepping for the next go-round. They’re important, worthwhile spoons, though, which is why I’m doing it. Spending these spoons now means
If you do not suffer from a life-ending condition and have never had to deal with health insurance companies, medical providers, pharmacies, drug companies, employer HR administators, and the like – all at once – count yourself among the bless’d.

I love it when the drugs start to kick in. In other news, the new Omnipods arrived today as well, so I can get back off the shots. You don’t realize just how annoying all those shots are until you don’t have to take them anymore. Being back on shots, even for a day, wasn’t
