I m BROKE !

I feel so fortunate that I have been able to afford my treatment for the past 5 months, as many others can not.

LLMD wants a pic line and IV meds next. I can't afford it, agh..

I sold my old wedding ring (no sentimental value), sold my John Deere tractor ( lots of sentimental value) and numerous other prized possessions.

For the life of me, I just don't understand why nothing is being done to get insurance coverage for treatment for TBD's..
What am I missing here ? It is a legitimate disease. Other diseases cost way more than our cheap antibiotics.

IT DOESN T MAKE SENSE !!!!

How can we get our situation changed ? Why is our voice not being heard ? And finally, how did this even happen in the first place ? What genius decided to play GOD ?

I believe Connecticut and Massachusette require insurance companies to provide long term antibiotic treatment for TBI's. I want to move there. Ground zero.

The first step is recognition AND acceptance by the medical community in toto. Unless and until all are on the bandwagon, nothing will happen [except for isolated states as you mentioned].

I still have a good time wherever I go!

Sorry you are having such a crummy time of it. NOT fair. But, the IDSA/CDC doesn't care and will not help. In fact they will continue to fight you and all of us.

If you send me an email- no I don't usually keep addresses (sorry)- I'll send you some info that might be of interest.

In the meantime...

It is so goofy it is funny. Sure to make you smile. At least that's what I'm hoping for!
