It has been a very long November

Hi To those who read It has been a very long month already. I am still waiting for My TENS unit. the doctor was supposed to send a written prescription with the paper work that she signed. I found this out after leaving the PT three messages with no return communication I finally called my doctors office and asked if they could call over to the pt center and find out what was going on because I had called with no return information.
I have also been dealing with alot of grief from the pharmacy who is supposed to order my lupron injections for my endometriosis. I was finally able to find out why the insurance claim has not been going through. I however had to call my insurance company myself to do so. they have been billing insurance for a thirty day supply of lupron when the injections I am getting are for three month use. I called the pharmacy and told them they needed to resend the insurance paperwork for a three month supply however they did not do this Wednesday and they had plenty of time because I had spoken to them and gotten all information by noon Wednesday. I called on Thursday morning which is when i found that nothing had been processed or even sent to my insurance for approval so I called the pharmacy and told them that they needed to speed up the process as my appointment is scheduled for Friday at noon. I also told them that it is ridiculous that it took this long to get my medication as i was due for my injection the first of the month. I will not be using the pharmacy service again I will go through the hassle of getting it from my pharmacy and bringing it with me every time it is needed which wont be for at least a year thank goodness.
On the CP home front I have been working on getting new extra depth shoes for my braces because the ones I have are getting really worn out and uncomfortable however I need things to calm down a little bit before i schedule teh appointment for the face to face consult that is required to get the approval through insurance. i am going to have the doctor at new England Rehab that I see do the prescription as he knows exactly what he wants me to have for a shoe. i think that is about all i have to report right now.

no pt today

I was supposed to have pt today but my tens unit did not come in so its a no go until it arrives. I am hoping it is soon since right now this is one of few options left for me according to pain management as you will see in my previous post. I have never been treated so bad as I was with pain management. i am hitting into a major depression right now because of how he treated me. he made me feel like nothing I said mattered and that I was just saying things to try and get attention. He did not believe me. None of his other colleagues are willing to help me either they say that the injections I was supposed to be evaluated for are not an option even though the doctors that were qualified to do injections never saw me they pushed me down the line and left me with Dr full of u know what. thankfully I have a Primary care doctor who will help me and will fight for me. I really need her for the next few weeks or shall I say months as my GYN will be on leave soon. Personally she should already be taking it easy in my book and enjoying her last few days before a lil one enters the world. I am so happy for her I can not wait until February so I can see lil one. We do not know what she is having yet but she deserves it she is a wonderful person and takes the up most and greatest of care of me./ I can never thank her enough for all that she has been through with me.
We had a transportation change over here in Maine which has not gone very smoothly and i have really been struggling with it and we were talking about it and My GYN told me that every time she hears about the problems with it on the news she instantly thinks of me. I do not cry easily but nearly did when she said that. It means so much when A medical provider takes in every aspect of my confused and crazy life. So many just fail to see how transportation issues affect me and hey do not understand they choose to get angry and frustrated. I have been told so many times if I was more than fifteen minutes late not to go to the appointment but my GYN does not turn me away. I do not know where i would be without her and no words are ever going to be enough to thank her.
