Personal: For Profit Healthcare and Me
So remember how Peacehealth drove all the independent offices in four specialties out of business, thus forcing everyone to use their clinic, then closed those clinics to force everyone to go to their central clinic two counties to the south? And remember how both the Doctors who were running that clinic made a deal to operate out of a clinic a regional medical conglomerate was opening near the hospital? so instead of me spending all day on a sixty mile each way trek for my treatment I was using the last three months of skeleton crew treatment at old clinic which ended the last Thursday in September? Remember how they said we could all follow our doctors there?
Yeah, about that.
I've been dutifully calling ever two weeks to see if they were letting people schedule appointments yet. They sent out a letter saying they were open. I stayed up Tuesday to get in sorted. it was a whole drama because the automated maze to get to the scheduler was as much of a hassle as Peacehealth's and prone to dropping calls, forcing one to start from scratch each time. so that was frustrating and tine consuming.
Apparently they have no access to our health records, so it was a start from scratch situation. Me, mentally: Shit! This is going to be HOURS. Only it wasn't for all the wrong reasons. They take Medicare, but not Medicare Advantage. So if I want it covered I have to lose most of my benefits including having Medicaid pay my big Medicare copay. O.o. Or I can pay for expensive treatments myself as uninsured.
I was upset, but I remembered superstar medical social worker lady personally calling around town to talk dentists into taking medicare dental coverage for me thus opening up my small city so that medicare patients can now get root canals and crowns instead of learning to live without chewing.
So I still thought it was salvageable. Problem is she's gone and the woman replacing her is a busy supervisor who likes to call me two hours into my sleep cycle without warning and then gets angry at me for not being charming. Previous lady asked when was best to call and would schedule calls in advance for a time when I was able to be awake and functional. it is a lot easier for me to be charming when I wasn't just ripped out of REM sleep and am now being interrogated about something.
New lady is a supervisor and super busy with supervisor things and is made of no and is snippy. I can not make her understand that not only is a 120 mile round trip over mountain passes dealing with the traffic mess along the highway in the major metropolitan area where I once got caught in a four hour traffic jam and couldn't get off to pee, is an entire exhausting day for me and that plus a treatment would not only mean i could do anything useful that day, but the next day to. She can't grasp how much pain is involved in long car trips or how much treatments take out of me. She keeps hard selling me on this and then calling me resistant and recalcitrant like I'm the one being unreasonable for considering this basically insurmountable at my level of disability.
She did not fight the in town clinic for me. She did not try to argue them around.
Her, repeating a suggestion she has made over and over since the closing announcement: You should just get your GP to do it.
Me, explaining for at least the third time because we have this conversation every time we talk: I asked my GP last spring like you asked. They can't do it. It can't be administered by a GP. They'd need to hire a specialist and build new facilities for compounding and for special storage of medication.
Her: Well just ask you GP to give you a different treatment.
Me: There are no other treatments. I have medications to manage symptoms. These treatments are the cure. There is only one cure.
Her: You are being recalcitrant!
Me: There is literally only one cure. No new ones have been invented since last February. The cure is working. I'm getting better. i will get worse again with only symptom management.
But she kept arguing with me because I was being stubborn about facts being facts. My GP can't pull an entire brand new treatment regimen out of her ass. She would not let it go or let me go and I was exhausted because it was hours past when I would normally be asleep at this point and also what was the point of her hard selling me on demanding the imaginary alternative treatment or the 120 mile trip. I ended up giving and and saying something like, "I have to go now," which I know is rude, but we spent this entire conversation with her neither listing not understanding and basically acting like I was the asshole here.
So I'm fucked and I'm frustrated and angry. I was literally at the point where I was going to get better really quickly if I kept doing treatments, but if we stop now I'll be back to square one with it all to do again if another clinic opens.
And it's all like this because Obama and Biden didn't have the balls to stick to their universal free healthy care guns and decided to adopt the capitalist give away Republican health plan in pursuit of bipartisan buy in they did not get, which anyone paying attention told them they could not get, which Mitch McConnell vowed they'd never get as part of the project to make Obama a one term president at all costs. They burned all their political capital on a bullshit give away to insurance companies when they could have taken the same or less of a hit just giving up a developed country level health care system. No fucked up website needed for sign ups. No red tape or copays or catch 22 shit like I'm dealing with now.

Me: There are no dentists near me that take medicaid. I wonder if I can just get a dental plan.
The answer is apparently not because, when you then try to use medicaid to get a therapy appointment, your dental plan comes up as a third-party insurance.

When I found out that people with EDS are often lidocaine-insensitive, it was like my life suddenly made sense. "You mean most people don't just white-knuckle their way through fillings?"
"... no, Spider. Most people's face gets numb."
"... oh."
But nitrous works for me like a dream. I drive down to Clackamas to go to a dentist who takes Medicaid & will give me nitrous & I just ... go wander around near Pluto, far away from whatever is going on in my mouth.
In the latest installment of me Terrorizing Medical Professionals, I got my Wisdom Teeth extracted because one decided to be an asshole and the other 3 were pending assholery, and demonstrated to my dentist that it's entirely possible to out-metabolize Ketamine if you start moving ASAP and also have a freakishly powerful liver.
So yesterday I had my one-month Checkup. It went pretty great, and the dentist asked if any part of my mouth was bothering me.
"Yeah, there's a sharp bit of bone coming out through the side from the extraction in my lower right jaw. The bone spur itself doesn't hurt, but it keeps cutting my tongue, so can you just pull it?" "Oh. Sure! Let me go get everything to do that." she said, and went to go get the tools for the extraction.
...Then there was some kind of confusion at the front desk I could overhear, with someone showing up with an urgent problem and they had to juggle the available staff, so she came back a bit later with the Pliers, said something about something taking "long enough" and went in.
It came out in two pieces, and the most discomfort I had was like, a 3/10 from the extraction itself, but mostly from keeping my mouth open.
...About halfway through, the Hygienist came in, apologizing for being late getting back from the front desk.
"Oh good, you have her the Novocaine!" the hygienist sighs with relief.
"What?" Said my dentist.
"What?" said the hygienist.
Both of them turn to look at the very full syringe on the tool table behind me.
"Honestly this is bothering me way less than the shot would." I said, lightly dribbling blood, and they both turn to me in horror.
"I really hate needles." I explain.
"What." says the dentist.
"Woah." Says the hygienist. "You would have done great in like, The Civil War."
Which is probably the funniest thing anyone's every said about my dangerously high pain tolerance.
Anyway, it was a one-off issue, and a non-issue for me because I think a normal person would have stopped her, so I go back in August if she doesn't recommend me to someone else for terrifying her twice in as many visits.

tired of being ✨disposable✨
I do not think my move to North Carolina is going well.
There are more bad things than good things living with Cameron's mom.
It is insanely hot.
I was denied health insurance, and the dental insurance available to me is useless.
I have spent more than anticipated in moving costs.
I am not writing as expected.
I am not feeling as expected--I thought I would feel relaxed. I thought I would have purpose. Instead, I feel alone. Oh, how alone I feel. Being surrounded by a family who does not want you unless you perform accordingly is dreadful. (Though not much different from my family. Unfortunately, I do not have the familial tie, love, or commitment with Cameron's family making any and all acts of engagement difficult.)
I upset easily.
Normal activity exhausts me.
Restful sleep alludes me.
Cameron and I are "fighting" more. They are not fights, but rather emotionally draining conversations about how my transition is hard for her.
Unfortunately, I have to (can) look at all of these bullet points through different eyes:
Marina is drinking heavily. She is going through an entire $60 bottle of Jack Daniels every 3-5 days. (Not counting the Vodka...) Her behavior is erratic and concerning. Her dependence on and unrequited obsession with Andy only seems to grow despite the cross-country distance. I find her desperation to connect with Christian and Cole unattractive. Especially compared to her disinterest in connecting with Cameron, her daughter who wants connection. There appears to be trouble in her relationship with Lonnie; such a quick entanglement and ensuing fallout further demonstrates her inability to maintain relationships. She is not capable of giving me what she advertised or what I had hoped for. And that is not my fault. Advice from yours truly: Wait until everyone is asleep. Tiptoe upstairs with your freshly brewed green tea and your girlfriend's homemade sugar cookies. Dig out your best stationary. Light a black candle for light and protection. Put on your big noise cancelling headphones. Outline your misgivings, your expectations, and your hurt. Commit such emotion to paper in pencil in case the tide changes (because it will). Include your best wishes; your hopes for a relationship in the near future. Fold the paper nicely, making sure not to smear your intentions. Tuck into its forever home, seal with a lick of indifference, and leave it somewhere pretty. Then, let it be.
It is insanely hot everywhere. The Earth is dying. We are dying. There is no escaping; our coolest summers are behind us.
Yes, it sucks that you were not approved for Medicaid. Yes, it is truly unfair that universal healthcare does not exist in America. Yes, you should have kept your dentist appointment in October when you were still in California and still insured. But nothing can be done. There is no going back. This is the now, and, in the now, I have fourteen cavities. I am going to have to pay a significant amount out of pocket to have them filled. But nothing can be done. Advice from yours truly: Look into other options. Make a list. Call Mike. Schedule an appointment. Move forward.
Money is a renewable resource.
Stephen King, among countless others, said it best: you must write--the only way to get better is to write. The only way to learn is to write. Writing is the answer. Stop running away from your destiny! It sounds cheesy, but it is the truth! write is the sound your heart whispers when you ask, "what was I made for?" It always has been. Forever and always. Advice from yours truly: Watch more hero movies. Carefully craft a "bad bitch" playlist and listen to it frequently. Remember, you are a bad bitch. Bad bitches do not hide from what they want; bad bitches run after what they want. Start every writing session by writing intentions like Octavia Butler: "I AM A WRITER. I AM A BEST SELLING AUTHOR. MY BOOKS MAKE PEOPLE FEEL. MY BOOKS ARE ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING LIST. I WRITE IMPORTANT STORIES THAT MAKE PEOPLE FEEL, THINK, AND REACT. I AM A WRITER. I AM A WRITER. I AM A WRITER. MY BOOK HAS A BIRTHDAY." Laugh at yourself. Find the joy, the childlike wonder in writing again. You like it for a reason. Find it. Capture it. Put it in an ecosystem it can survive in, like one of those cool terrariums you see on TikTok. Nurture it. Keep it alive.
It is okay to not feel good. It is okay to not clean your room. It is okay to struggle. You are doing your best and that is all I have ever asked for.
You just moved across the country into a shared living space with a complete stranger who regularly invites other strangers into the shared living space. You have no job, no school, and no friends. It is normal to struggle under these conditions. It is normal to not be sleeping regularly. Honestly, it would be weird if you were not struggling in some way.
Cameron is struggling too. Most importantly, she just wants to help you. Advice from yours truly: Let her help you.

Here’s What No One Tells You About Dentist That Accept Medicare Near Me | dentist that accept medicare near me
Finding a dentist that accepts Medicare near me is not that hard. I used to have a high deductible policy, but when I moved out of my house two years ago I was able to switch to an HMO or PPO.
I would be willing to pay more to have affordable health care. There are so many expensive things to do in this day and age. I was really looking forward to having some affordable dental care.
My plan is an HMO or PPO. I know they sound like they are the same, but they are not. I am not going to lie to you, but they are very different.
With a PPO I can choose what services I want. When I get sick or hurt I can cancel my plan and go for emergency care. It also gives me extra benefits if I need them. This is a good way to know you are covered when you need it.
My main concern with a PPO is they can cost me more money in the long run. You will see your monthly premiums increase, and then after about five years, you may need to switch again. If you are like me you can't afford to lose coverage. This is why I was looking for a dentist that accepts Medicare near me.
Medicare doesn't cover all dental work, and it isn't even available all around the country. You can try to find a new dentist that accepts Medicare near me, or go for the cheap dental plans that I mentioned earlier. office} I went to a local dentist's office. They said I couldn't get the treatment I needed there because I live outside of my network area. I didn't even know what their network was until they told me. If I lived near New York, then I could get it from their office.
I didn't care, I wanted to go to a dentist anyway. I was told I could use a dental referral from a friend of mine or my family dentist, so I asked my friend to go. because I knew she would be able to get me a good price on a brand new orthodontist that accept Medicare near me.
She said the dentist was a great job and offered great prices. She was surprised that I live close to the city where she works, but I knew it wouldn't matter.
It turned out they have a discount plan that works perfectly for me. I'm very happy with it and can't wait to get the rest of my teeth fixed. I am happy with my choice, and I'm glad I did the research to find it. for my teeth.

Everytime u post it reminds me as a Floridian with medicaid that I have no place near me that takes me and I have so many cavities I was told if I paid for it out of pocket I'd have to pay 2500. I continue to ignore
It's absolutely ridiculous how many dentists/doctors won't take medicaid, and even if they do, most of the time they won't take patients under 20. Even the community health centers pull this bullshit. That or they're completely booked out. Florida I've noticed is especially guilty of this, which is why I've mentioned it a lot, because it's really upsetting. All because the dentists care more about getting paid...
And it fucking kills me dude. I hate having to tell people that I can't find a dentist. It makes me want to stand on a podium and start yelling until something changes, because this isn't fair. You shouldn't be able to deny people basic healthcare just because they can't afford it. I straight up told a lady last week to write a letter to her representatives in her state, because she was in a similar situation as you, she couldn't find a dentist either, and she was upset, and she wanted to know what she can do to make things change. If that's what it's gonna take, if we need to fight, then let's fucking fight. I will stand there with you.

Friend of mine told that they're worried about me being suicidal and that I really need to see a professional and it's like...
I've done a lot of therapy over the years. The reason I'm not in therapy right now is I'm 50 miles from the nearest town. Just going to the dentist for a cleaning took me out for like 2 days. Unless I can find a therapist who does telesessions and take my state's medicaid I'm out of luck even though I want one
Also, I've been suicidal since I was 13 at least. It's nearly two decades, and I haven't so much as made a cut cause I'm too paranoid about long term damage from failing. I have a plan, it will probably work, but I just haven't felt like acting on it. I wish I would, but... just keep putting it off sadly
Anyway, with my friend it's like... I don't need a therapist... I need someone to tell me they like me. I wish you'd tell me some way I matter to you, not just not to kill myself. You say you care, and I believe you, but you don't make me feel cared about
I just want to be loved, and that's not happening so I'll settle for being useful and wanted
All the time I talk about how I can only work off the evidence I have even if I know it's probably warped. I haven't heard a compliment in years or maybe ever that hasn't just been that I'm "nice" which like... it feels like that just means I'm polite
This is why when I talk with people I like I'm always like "I'm proud of you, you matter, you're doing a good job", I give examples if I can... no one understands to reciprocate... no one gets I'm trying to show what I need
I can't just come out and outright say that for like... a number of reasons, but I don't know if they'd even be able to change. I've come to the conclusion most of the world cares, but they're just terrible at helping others. Plus like... asking for help is one thing, but if you have to practically script things for people it starts to feel... inauthentic?
Anyway... yeah... I'd love therapy again, I'd love my really good fit therapist back. Obviously then I'd be saying this to someone I have that relationship with instead of dumping in anons but like... we have to live in the real world around what is and isn't practical
I'm very... not well, but I'm better at coping and self reflection than a lot of people I think. I just... I need some actual connection and people always are like "go see a professional", professional said I need friends. If someone's in Plato's allegorical cave and can only see the shadows of trees on the wall do you tell them to see a professional instead of taking them outside to see the tress?
Anyway... sorry. Hope you have a good day. If you ever need anything just say the word and I'll do what I can. May not seem like it, but I really really really prefer listening. Hate saying all this stuff, but I guess it seems like a waste to just delete it even though that would be for the best
Tumblr media
Oh man Anon, I'm really sorry to hear this has been your experience. You are more than welcome to pop into my DMs anytime, for self expression, for a conversation, for support, whatever feels right for you. Also, if it feels safe for you to do so, you're welcome to DM me your general location (e.g. Montana, USA) and I would be happy to put out word along the therapist networks for a telehealth provider who takes Medicaid.
It sounds like you've been feeling really isolated for an incredibly long time, and that's such a difficult experience to go through. I wish I had better answers for you, and I hope that in the near future you are able to find people in your world who click with you. I know it's not an answer that seems sincere, but in my experience, learning to become more self-validating goes a long way towards increasing the positive points of social contact in one's life. I think there are probably a lot of reasons for this, but the biggest, in my opinion, is the way that it rebuilds your self esteem and allows you to both identify and enforce boundaries that are more personalized to your needs. The trouble in this answer, of course, is just how fucking difficult it seems to develop a strong sense of self-validation/valuation when you don't have others in your life who respect and value you, or who do so in ways that don't mesh with how you internalize affection and attention. I spent so many years exploring and unpacking core beliefs to get to a place where that even seemed possible, let alone likely, and frankly I don't know how well most therapists are trained in that work unless they have explicit CBT/DBT training. Certainly I don't know how to do it on one's own without a therapist.
I definitely understand the feeling of diminishing returns on care, apology, and affection from someone depending on how intensely you need to prompt them through the process. There's a pretty hard line for many people between "It's not fair for me to expect people to be mind readers" and "I can only instruct you exactly how to meet my needs without fulfillment so many times before I give up" and after spending enough time in the latter space the former seems almost to become a much less forgiving range of experiences. This is definitely a space whereI have struggled over the years, and have been fortunate that those who I allowed to remain in my life were willing and able to put in visible effort towards this which has helped me even where change is slow or nonexistent.
As far as your friend's tendency to change the subject when you express yourself, sometimes naming the issue can be revealing. I had to have this conversation with wifey because she does a similar thing when she feels uncomfortable with the subject of conversation (not always mental health stuff often just things where she feels unknowledgable) and wasn't understanding just how hurtful it was. I think people can be....well intended but silly sometimes. Very little of what we think should be obvious kindness or attendence to others' needs seems to actually BE obvious, as I've often found myself explaining what I find to be simple matters of respect to people who have...just never thought about it. I don't think that makes them bad people. But if everyone they hurt chooses to bottle it up or end the relationship instead of telling them, they'll never understand that they're sort of casually hurting people's feelings. I know what that's like from both sides, so I go out of my way, even when it makes me absolutely SEETHE with the unfairness of it all, to tell people when something they're doing has a consistent emotional response for me. This way if people (like me!) struggle to know what is hurtful and what is loving for me, they know that I will simply tell them. It doesn't solve everything, far from it. But it has seemed (at least in combination with an increasing ability to self-validate) to smooth out a lot of previously really difficult or harmful conversations/interactions.
Regardless of what strategies and support systems end up being right for you, please know that I'm always happy to be a part of that. I rather like people! Terrifying though they may be. I enjoy getting to know a new person and learning to understand their view of the world. It's like tourism, but without the travel fees.
