Dear All
I talked to my insurance co today & they denied my trip to Germany
because the spray gel is not FDA approved. They said if it was
eventually approved & the reports said anything about the gel being
used, they would not pay for it. I have a letter in to Dr Korell to see
if he would do surgery without the gel or maybe with another type of
barrier. The ins. lady said surgery causes more adhesions & I told her
they just paid for me to be opened up, with a dr that knew about
adhesions, so why wouldnt they send me to a specialist? I think it is
just because it is in Germany. She told me there were specialist
locally I could go to, I told her to send me the names of them & I would
go to see them. I already have 3 drs that won't do surgery for me (I
would turn them down anyway) but that gives me even more proof that I
need a specialist. Insurance Co blow!! I am really tired of them. I am
going to see my Dr on Wed pm to talk about changing my meds. I am
taking 30mg of MS Contin 2 x a day and Vicodin 10 mg 8-10 a day & I
still have too much pain. The last 2 days I have been up and about &
now I am paying for it with increased pain. Not that I really did
anything, just standing for 5 mins causes more pain. Please keep me in
your prayers & thoughts.
love
robin
