Too much?

Is it too much to ask for just a diagnosis? I just want to know what's wrong with me and then have someone deal with the pain. I can't stand this much longer. The constant pain is taking it's toll on me.

Ugh

The last few weeks have been just plain miserable. It's been three and a half months since I got sick, and because of that, I may or may not have a job to return to. And I haven't gotten paid by the disability insurance people in a month and I found out on Friday that I won't be paid for the month of September because they don't think that I'm sick enough to be off of work because my prescriptions say take as needed and they think I want to be off of work that my doctor is not keeping me off of work. Yeah, I really WANT to be off of work and lose my job because I'm in constant pain and the only semi-comfortable position is to be laying on my right side in the fetal position and while I may get a little relief from my pain medications, they're tearing up my stomach so I'm now fighting constant nausea as well. I really want all this stuff right. Sure shows why this country is so messed up, every thing is run by the insurance companies.

Like when I was in the hospital in August. I was supposed to be admitted as an inpatient according to the doctor that admitted me, but my insurance company said that uncontrollable abdominal pain is not sick enough to be an inpatient so I was in observation and no one knew that so no one in the hospital advocated for me to be put in inpatient status and so I was discharged in the exact same condition that I was admitted in. Great healthcare system America.

Insurance companies can't be the ones dictating care. We're paying the premiums that keep them in business but when we need the care, where the hell is it?

I just can't handle all this additional stress of fighting with two different insurance companies while I'm trying to get better.
