GGGGGrrrr. To qualify for OHP to cover the infusion medication for my RA, I have to have failed two oral medication trials.
Well I have...methotrexate and chloroquine.but they are denying it, because they don't like they way I failed the chloroquine (side effect of sever muscle pain, inability to STAND UP AND FUCKING WALK)
so they want me to try another medication.
really?
these meds have life threating side effects like CANCER: BLINDNESS; DEATH.
yup
and the next one to try takes 1to 2 FREAKIN YEARS, to clear your system after you stop taking it.
The prednisone is failing...I have 2 years left to work. Thats a LONG ASS time when you're in chronic pain.
AGAIN will be asking for referral to the pain management clinic, and/or a hospice evaluation. (Wich I have been asking for since my 20's and they always say I'm not old enough yet. sigh)
just mad an angry this morning. going to go watch Star Trek with hubby then bind books all day.
rant over.
hope everyone is haveng a better day.
