Thank you Denise and Nancy for your thoughts.   I do keep a migraine journal and have for several years now. The past few Neuro visits (I give them a copy of my journal) have shown that my migraines have seemed to improve. The Zomig does in fact help my migraines clear up within a couple hours...

    Thank you. I'm hoping this will work out. I just got another rejection letter from my insurance company from my urologist. I hope they get everything straightened out and I can straighten them out. Thanks for the encouragement and listening.

    As far as insurance goes, things are ok. They admitted to making a mistake by kicking me off and put me back on, again. They took care of the unpaid bills and as far as I know, I am still covered (until they kick me back off again). My father recently changed jobs, which I think I mentioned, and I have had to change pharmacies. I was getting trouble from them too. I think I should be good for now though.

     

    Now my only troubles are from my migraines. Ever since the doctor said he doesn't think my migraines are a disability and he wouldn't lie for me (which I didn't ask him to do such a thing and never would) they have been coming more frequently, the severity is worse than usual and they won't leave. My Axert and Zomig aren't working anymore. My dad thinks it's a subconscious reaction to the doctor's satement. I can tell you I don't look forward to seeing him come November and I am thinking of changing doctors again. I am very hurt that any doctor would think I would want them to lie, especially when I don't believe I am lying about my health as it is. I even feel insecure about calling and asking for some kind of help with the migraines that won't go away and have been bothering me for over a week now.

     

    Thanks for asking and I am sorry for writing so much.
