My doc sent in the paperwork required. The insurance company
rejected the claim.
I'm sure the whole thing is going to boil down to delay, delay,
delay.. and their hope that if they reject the claim most patients
won't go to the trouble I did in calling them, and my Dr.'s office.

Everyone connected with insurance companies should be sent to a concentration camp in Siberia for life. (Hopefully a _very_ short one at that.)
Ah well.. it better work after all this nonsense <vbg>

I've learned in the past to *not* hold my breath when it comes to problems, it
just makes me turn purple.
Good luck with things Janis, (don't hold your breath tho)
Very true :) well, from what I've read it takes about 4
days to really see a difference. This was day 2.

It's working :) I can't run a race but it's working well.

SUPER! thats good news hu. Every little bit helps. :)
Say, Janis, do you think your arteries (sp) are constrained in your neck?
Are you referring to the new treatment for CCSVI (Chronic
cerebrospinal venous insufficiency)?
Think I'd wait until any kinks are worked out before I let
anyone play with my jugler vein and put a stent in there

Yep. Sounds promising hu, like we said every bit helps.
I didn't even know you
have MS, but you mentioned it in another message.

Can't blame ya, It's not approved here in Canada, Canada said more research is
needed.

Oh yeah, I've had it for 35 years now.. You couldn't tell by
looking at me, unless I'm having a darn bad day and limping some.
In general, I must have had the easiest ride with this than anyone
I know, though my doctors always tell me that "most MS patients
have it like you do". There are some rough cases, I had two
friends of mine from high school killed in their late 20's from it.
looking at me, unless I'm having a darn bad day and limping
if I'm not mistaken, they halted research when a couple
people died during the surgery or something.

One of my very good friends was put down by MS after only 9 or 10 years. She
suffered horribly. (Hate to even think about it.)
You sound like you're one
of the more fortunate ones. I can only hope and pray that it will remain under
reasonable control for you.
I myself am truly blessed - I've had Type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent) essentially since birth and discovered when I was 3 - that was 58 years ago.
Albeit a bit brittle at times, I've managed to keep my eyes in good condition and have had only minor involment with the various neuopathies that tend to plague many other diabetics. Kidney function still execelent, etc., so I really _do_ consider myself blessed in many respects.
I can only hope that the new drug you're using will prove to be a great benefit, Janis.

35 years hu... long time. ITS still got to be hard not knowing from day to day.
By the same token modern medicine has come a long way in 35 years and MS
folk do better now. Like CCSVI is something new, some MS folk say it's made a world of difference. My be medicine can do something for SCI too, I'm stable so anything new in that would be nothing for me.

people died during the surgery or something.
No... ouch. It needs research then!
That idea works for us still <grin>. Also important was
keeping active - so I couldn't dance so well anymore (and I

Home life IMHO is the biggest challenge, when things go wrong in people's life
*some* not all people run for the hills. They find it easer just not to deal with it, some take bad news fine. I'm glad your support took the news fine.
Dancing eh.. sweet. I bet you had the moves eh.. Hubahuba :)
What do I mean??? YOU still DO!

Sure.. attitude works well, but it's not worth a bag of beans if your support don't care, then it's up to the person to make a life for him/her self.
Understand. Glad things are stable! How long have you had
this? I expect it wasn't easy for you.
I broke my neck in the early 80's C3 fracture. SCI (Spinal cord injury) MVA
(motor vehicle accident) motorcycle accident.. It's wasn't a walk in the park,
thats for sure,
but I was always pretty independent, so I've made it over 20+
years now in my bucket (wheel chair) I have my own town house, live alone, financially stable, and hansom. <grin>
chat soon..
deal. Because you have to. :) Besides, I can be pretty
stubborn (eh.. hard-headed Italian? <laugh>)
