Example: My first bad headache I remember I was 5. But two times, once 20 years ago, and once recently, the pain was so bad, it was a change in conciuosness, like a different plane, where I was unable to move or reach out. After years with a doctor I trust, we have new insurance: Kaiser, and Maxalt has stopped working for me. When I told described THAT kind of pain to my new kaiser doctor that she recommended a psychiatrist.
Lesson: Use their lingo: Just call it pain Level 10
Does anybody have suggestions on how to avoid the pitfalls of the HMO Survivor Challenge?
