An email would be helpful because he doesn't use internet, so i wouldn't need to worry about an accidental sending. He came from the age and job where he started the internet. He had what he called leashes with the 1st pagers and cell phone, and home dial up n so on... so now he refuses to. Stubborn... yes... however he's allowed to be at 80.
i had finally told my pcp at my last appointment how i have been feeling. i started to say no as usual... and stopped... paused... and said the truth. However then i couldn't admit the truth when she asked if i ever thought about hurting myself or others. i just hid pulled my sleeves back down from the bp cuff n said no. i tried talking to the nurses that get you into the room and ask those routine "questions" and i finally answered honestly and was dismissed like she never heard me. i know the stigma against mental health is stupid and i fight against it constantly for everyone.... except me. The stigma towards myself is extremely difficult for me to overcome still.
my PCP had a gal the office who is in charge of helping find counseling or services and help with all that contact me through my health connection. i answered her questions with complete honesty even though it's in my medical records and everyone can see them. However, she didn't ask about harming, just what i was looking for and insurance. i explained about being on the HDC (hospital discounted care) program, however its only through that hospital and won't cover medications. Just necessary initial visits. She told me she would get back to me in 3 days. This was a week n half before Christmas. i figured it was the holidays with offices closed down making it more difficult. i'm just under the age for medicare, i make too much income for medicade or government help, yet i only work 4 days a week. im just so tired of being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Not enough to survive, n not enough to get help is all becoming not enough to care anymore and too tired of fighting.
i was referred to them by one of my specialists to help with how bad my fibromyalgia had become after having covid, however i did have insurance at the time and they refused the referral, and they were too expensive for self pay. i will try to ask about the "financial barrier" option. i never knew it existed.
i have the HDC and have literally begged for help in the messages to several Drs and areas of the hospital asking what my options are for help with getting medications.
i live North of Denver and all my Drs are at the UCHealth all over metro Denver and beyond. i absolute Love a few of my Drs there and they really care for their patients. Unfortunately, they can't help with the billing departments or pharmacy.
