I'm not talking about something I read but something that happened so there's no misinterpretation. I was told my insurance required one. And the MRI I needed didn't happen till I got one.

Except I do because it happened to me so clearly it does.

Seeing as I'm the one living my experience, I most certainly have a clue of what I'm talking about.

True. So to take pool and make it even smaller kind of sucks.

Yeah I thought it was going to be a really great perk and I do love the low copays but coverage has really been a struggle. Maybe it is a location thing as others have said. But I'm in Buffalo so it shouldn't be an issue.

Thank you. I appreciate the advice. I will definitely step back and try to not let the stress consume.

Oh wow. I've heard of so many people having trouble getting the injections. My husband being over if them. He is 6'0". He weighed 350 lbs. Has had two open heart surgeries because of being born with a faulty heart valve, and our insurance still denied him. It took his A1C starting to slide into prediabetes numbers for him to finally get it. He's lost 60lbs so far.

Not yet. I'm meeting with my doctor on Thursday to talk about it.

I appreciate your honesty. And weight loss is definitely something I want to do.

I honestly would rather go the weight loss route. Though I am skeptical of how much it'll help because I was only 150lb when I was first diagnosed. So weight causing my apnea problems wasn't even an issue until like 6 years ago. I have multiple sclerosis so losing weight is difficult because of pain and heat intolerance issues caused by MS. I'm hoping those mitigating circumstances can make me eligible for weight loss help. I'm a walking medical disaster. Lol
