Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 Mike, Wow, that's interesting. Rheumy had me go out and schedule his next appt and said he would be back to go over the forms w/me in detail and have me sign them......and he was gone for quite awhile.......i figured he was putting things in motion. I didnt hear anything yesterday but figured when they did call me to schedule that I would be SURE that it was approved by ins FIRST. Thanks for the heads up and I'll let you knowhow I make out nanc gwill1@... wrote: Saw a message about Remicade and my experiance was ....I work for General Motors and our health insurance is with BC/BS and our drug program administered with Merck/Medco. My doctor has a Remicade administator in her office three times a week to give patients the infussions. I received all the literature and a tape to look at to explain everything. My Dr prescribed it for me and it was Flatly 100% refused! They said it was not FDA approved for Psoriatic Arthritis and therefor it couldn't and wouldn't be approved. fought with them, got the Start Insurance commisiors office involved to no avail..so I just gave up. It makes me and My doctor mad that the insurance companies seem to be running the show now. And they are REALLY dumbb. To show you... I've been on Monipril for about 11 years and they have always paid it and I pay the co-pay. They desided about 4 months ago that it isn't in there "FORMULARY" so I was given an alternative that just happens to be manufactured by Merk and they'll pay for it but not the Monipril anymore. The Monipril was costing them about $41.00 a month and the one they will pay for now cost them $74.00 a month..You figure it.. Anyways have a good weekend ...Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Ladies, Just wanted to tell you I'm going to be scarce for a little while . . . If you want to get my attention, please put my name in the subject line because I won't have time to read every message for a little while! Traveling, class and dental surgery . . . I'll check in when I can. Love to all, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hi Molly, I'm in Oklahoma city, preparing for a weekend of square dancing. We dance at the challenge level. That means, in order to dance we travel quite a lot! . . . Square dancing is drawing increasingly smaller crowds. So, to find a group, and a caller, we travel! I'm taking a pottery class. Love it! . . . I do a lot of it at home, but spend Mondays at school, either glazing, or making glazes, whatever needs to be done. This starts my third year of class. . . I did two years 27-28 years ago! Wish I had stayed with it! The dental surgery is freaking me out! . . . I'll get through it. I've turned everything over to my hubby to make sure I do what I need to do, and get through it. I can't bear to think about it! I just have a few minutes to run through messages . . .. The hotel lobby has a computer I can use. Love, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hi Rogene, Square dancing looks like fun, although I have never done it. It also looks like a lot of exercise! The pottery class really sounds like fun. That is something I would like to do, someday. It sounds like you have quite a bit of knowledge in this area. I'll be it is very rewarding to see the finished results. What kind of dental surgery are you having? I have been through so much dental surgery, and it is never fun. Ice is a key!! It's easy to just want to crawl in bed and forget it, but ice really makes a difference. Take care and have a wonderful time with square dancing. > Hi Molly, > > I'm in Oklahoma city, preparing for a weekend of > square dancing. We dance at the challenge level.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 That sounds like a good dentist! Or periodontist, I presume... You will be sore - but ice will help a lot. Good luck!!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yes, it's true, I just had a root canal. Actually, not one, but two. I was so torn about this. I absolutely stalled as long as I could on this one, believing against all odds that I was going to beat this thing and not have to have a root canal. I spent 4 long months in pain that got increasingly worse to the point of agonizing and bringing me to tears. (Not to mention popping ibuprofen like candies, which was against my principles as well.) My husband came home one day and found me crying in pain and he called the dentist and asked for an appt right then and there. When it came down to it, that's the only thing that could help, or else pull the tooth. I really had a hard time saying go ahead. To make things worse, after going through the first root canal, the pain didn't go, and so I had a second root canal a week later on the next tooth, the back molar. I am just getting over that, and scared, because the pain isn't totally gone yet. It should be, because the nerve is supposed to be gone. And that second root canal was a killer. They could not get me numb and must have shot me up about 4 times, including straight into the pulp of the tooth. This dental stuff is something I can do without! Rogene, I feel for you. I have never had major dental issues before now. After going through those 2 root canals, I know I never want to have major dental issues again! COnsider yourself extremely fortunate if you have not had to make these decisions. I thought my good luck with my dental health was going to last. NOT! I still have my pretty teeth, but yikes, I am beginning to wonder what the future holds! Patty > - > > Rogene > Travelling sounds fun. Where are you going? Dental surgery not so > fun.
