Bitch, whine, moan

[DVMmomma]

Can we have a place to just sprout off all of the no good terrible things that we just want to whine about?

[DVMmomma]

Because I'm bloody exhausted today and it's killing me. I even went to the gym hoping to perk myself up. And allotted an extra 6 oz of caffeine in my cup this morning. No dice.

DVMmomma, I feel your pain! I am so tired and weak its not even funny and now I have shortness of breath on top of it. I think I may be a little anemic and after talking to the nurse at my OB's office this morning I'm going to pop in next week to get my hemoglobin checked. I honestly hope this isn't normal prego stuff because I can't get anything accomplished!

[DVMmomma]

I'd also like to bitch about insurance and medical supply companies. I just called to see about out of pocket cost for the Harmony DNA test (we're just being impatient and want to know gender). Apparently, they bill insurance $2130. If insurance approves the test, then my out of pocket cost is $683. If insurance denies it, my cost is $130. Holy discrepancy. Now I'm wavering of it because if for some weird reason insurance approves it, I'll be stuck with a $683 bill. No thanks! I'm inpatient but I'm not crazy!

[dukegirlsc]

DVMmomma, if you work with the medical supply company directly they will normally waive your portion of the bill. Mainly because they get more than they would with the insurance payment versus your out of pocket as a self pay. If your OB works with a sales rep on this get their information, they will go to bat for you to keep their account happy!

[DVMmomma]

dukegirlsc I know my insurance won't cover it though. I'm 30 and my insurance doesn't cover the test until 33. I called the Ob first, they had me call the company directly. The information I got was from a rep at the company so I think it is what it is yeah? I have no idea.

I hope you get some answers on the shortness of breath! That doesn't seem entirely normal. Though I don't doubt these hooligans have the power to make us more anemic than a singleton.

My pelvis feels like it's coming apart and about to fall out of my body. That's about all I've got today.

[requiressnacks]

Insurance sucks. Mine didint cover any of our scans at the MFM, but they are free at my OBs office. No one was ever able to explain why.

Wtf?! I'm going to guess you didn't walk in and demand to be scanned. I would be quite angry. Especially because I'm sure they weren't cheap.SaveSaveSaveSave

Reading that back I sound pretty dramatic. It's not THAT bad.

GL with your insurance woes. And two thumbs up for at least attempting the gym!

[dukegirlsc]

requiressnacks, my tiredness doesn't seem nearly as bad now, so sorry for your pelvic pain!

My arm hurts from my flu shot.

My new hero for actually going to the gym!! Zero energy after work for that now.

Insane day at work today. End of a big campaign and my coworker had other meetings so I was running around most of the day. Had time to eat a bag of chips and 2 cheese sticks. Needless to say I just wanna lay down and go to sleep now.

FFFC: I never have and I never will get a flu shot. I hope your arm feels better quickly!SaveSave

[DVMmomma]

@jacks605 I hate days like that! Hope you're able to get a good night's sleep tonight.

ETA: (slinks off to go get a cheese stick)

That is crazy! All of my scans are due at the MFM instead of the OBs office. That just seems wrong, and something you should have been told would happen before the scans occurred.

Mm double check on age, it's usually based on age at delivery and they might add a year or two for multiples. Weird, I know.

I had this and I was anemic. Iron supplements made a big difference. Definitely get your hemoglobin checked.

I have a raging headache this evening and I have to work the next two overnight shifts so I'm trying to stay awake as long as I can. It's 12:30am and I don't foresee myself lasting much longer. Fail.
