I think your response was very nice Gentle, and not offensive or

arguementative at all. I hope you will give some of them points to ponder and

check it out

for themselves. You definately tweeked their curiosity anyway! Good for you!

Gentle. You have a disease that the mainstream knows little of. Your name fits

you, you are a gentle kind soul. You answered and stood your ground on your

rights at the same time. You will lock horns many times in the next few years in

your quest for health. You did all you can do to maintain a balance. That is all

Karma or God could ask!

Thank you, Loriann, and thanks too for caring that we military folk

have to go to such crummy health care facilities, LOL!

I really wish that I could just go to civilian ones, but around here

at least you need special authorization each time you go to a

civilian doc rather than military. And if that civilian doc charges

for something TRICARE doesn't want to pay, YOU end up paying.

Case in point - went to the orthopedic specialist last summer about

my knees. Was told to bring X-rays, MRI's, all available records.

So I did. Well, TRICARE paid for the doc to look at the MRI but not

the X-ray. So there was a couple hundred dollar charge for looking

at the X-ray that I had to pay out of pocket. Not good.

In other parts of the country, I was able to go to a civilian doc if

I wanted. Here, they say " no " to that, you have to go to the

military docs if they can fit you in. I guess because the docs

around this area are so very expensive.

Thank you so much Jamy!

To be honest I almost wanted to write, " send it back? What do you

mean, send it back? Good thing this doctor can't dictate to me what

to do regarding my health... " I thought that was an arrogant

phrase. Shrug. So I had to make sure I didn't let any of my anger

show...
