World of Insurance
Such a confusing place the insurance world is. I keep asking how much and get the reply we won't know until we submit it to insurance. The bills are piling up nicely and I don't see the Rheumatologist until February.
The only good news about the insurance is there will be a cap of my out of pocket, so I'll be spending $3500 easy each year just for my medical. Not an easy defeat by a long shot to cover the expense, not to mention the month premium.
My job is great and am I very lucky to have such good insurance, hopefully it will stay that way. I feel sorry for those that don't. Rheumatoid Arthritis is more then painful. Pain we can deal with, but sometime it affects life.
My left arm won't open all the way. It did bother me too much until it started to hurt, so I went to the doctors. I got more predisone and pain medication. I ended up not taken the pain medication because I didn't like the fog it put me. I had a hard time thinking and just wanted to sleep. The predisone worked but a few days later my arm started to not straighten again. I keep try to stretch it and make it open, but I'm not winning.
Now my left arm is where I would carry my purse, but I'm finding that very uncomfortable to do now. It hard to left things as my left elbow may hurt. Sometime it does and other times it doesn't. Using my right arm is the best alternative I have, but that is attached to the shoulder that often goes out. The shoulder doesn't go out of socket but it becomes extremely painful to move for a day or two.
