Bettie!
It’s horrible having to admit to having a long term illness!
Like, gambling, ACCEPTANCE is the first step.
Then SURRENDER!
After that it’s all about taking it one day at a time.
Living life is all about odaat, I guess!
Paying for "drugs" we really don’t want to put into our system is a bummer, but what’s the alternative?
We might be better off if we could learn to "receive our demons" instead of fighting them.
Escaping to the casino with a packet of cigs and a bottle of brandy seems like the best solution today, but what about tomorrow?
In Ireland ,Treatment for diabetes comes under the LTI scheme. Everything is free.
Other long term illness like Hyrertension, High Cholesterol etc are not covered, so like you I pay an arm and a leg for medication I DON’T want to take…however if we buy our meds bi monthly, it is all covered under the calender month payment scheme. Ask your chemist again. Keep pestering whoever is involved because it sounds as if it’s beyond your means.
Will you be able to claim back on your tax at the end of the year B? Keep all your receipts and have a try.
"Accepting the things we cannot change" sounds very easy until we realise that there ARE actually some things that will never change.
Yet, I have discovered that everything changes so hopefully Bettie, when you begin to adjust to the increased meds you might have a surprise in store.
In the meantime, safe driving in your Chevrolet Cruz!
