Talk about some horse shit! Well, let me start kinda from the begining... March 7th, 2003 at 11pm I had roughly 15 pounds of metal fall on me from just over 6 feet high while I was working. Nothing was broken & they put my leg in a splint from hip to ankle. After a few days I kew something was wrong, doc said it would be better after a few days. It never stopped hurting. I found out months later I have RSD - Reflux Sympathteic Dystrpohy & actually RSD is the mild form of what I have. I of course with my luck have to have RSD II. Started walking with a really bad limp & a cane. I sued bought a new bed, house & went gambling! lol September 2005 I sarted getting Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks. They are a motified version of an epideral. I had 7 total, last one in September 2006. October 2006 Kaiser decieded I am too high risk for them & they cancelled my insurance. In Novemeber I filled for Medical & food stamps. I do work, but I make $400 bucks a month that they know about. I have jumped through all of their hoops. Even went to their doctor who really hurt me! To come home almost 2 Fridays ago to find out that I was denied because I apperently make too much money, don't have any kids under the age of 18 & even if I did they would get insurance not me & I am not crippled enough for them! So, I have been a lil stressed out. Started calling doctors & clinics Friday morning... All of which tell me I need a referal. But if I don't have a doctor to get a referal from what do I do?! Then today my old doctor's secretary in Santa Anna called, we explained they situation. She said I could see the doctor but the problem is he can't prescribe the medication I need. So...... I would have to pay rougly $300 to see doctor A, just so I can get a referal to see doctor B... But when I see doctor B I have to pay another roughly $300, then another $260 just for one months worth of medication. Follow all that? Or I can pay half that & risk my life by going to Mexico. Kinda funny, eh?! They come here & get medical insurance & I have to go down there for help! WTF? So, now I am even more stressed out & kinda don't know what to do. Well I feel better now that I get all that out... Thanks for taking the time to read this long drama story! Love you all!!
