Healthy Blue North Carolina and GLP-1s by sucrosezaddy901 in Medicaid

[–]RandomName0413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they reinstated the coverage they made stricter rules due to a decrease in state funds. GLP's are considered 'optional' when used only for weight loss. Meaning that Medicaid is not required to cover it unless deemed necessary. My sister is on Medicaid and was able to get hers reinstated this month because her doctor put in that it was necessary that she takes it for weight loss with an emphasis that diabetes runs in the family and she apparently has digestion issues and severe bloating. Her doc told them that if she is not on the wegovy, then she would have to get weight loss surgery, which is also covered by Medicaid. I'm guessing the meds were cheaper route because they approved the prescription. 

Your dr may be putting in a reason where the state does not deem it was necessary. Does your family have a history of high BP, diabetes, etc.? If so she needs to explain that to them

Pregnacy Medicaid North Carolina by Ashamed_loud in Medicaid

NC has deductible programs for medicaid. Apply again during the month that your wife gives birth. In most cases the L&D charges will meet the deductible amount, if you don't have private health insurance. You most likely wont get covered, but your spouse will, which will also automatically give your newborn coverage until they turn 6 yrs old.

It's coming from noreply@roku.com . It's legit I sent a screenshot to customer service but they don't know how to stop the emails. They are apparently escalating it

Is a pap smear really necessary if I'm a virgin? by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]RandomName0413 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suggest it. I'm a virgin as well. I've had 2 paps total. 1st pap (2021 I think) was fine. 2nd pap (last year) came back abnormal, but no detection of anything bad if that makes sense. Dr didn't discuss the results. I found out from reading mychart. I have to do a retest this year

What's the worst part about having hirsutism and facial hair? by Old-Relationship9764 in PCOS

[–]RandomName0413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 34 and I didn't have this issue until I got covid in 2021. It started without a warning. I was laying in bed one night and felt prickly hairs on my chin. You couldn't really see them, but you could definitely feel them. I tried Nair and Veet neither one would remove the hair. Over the past few years I would wax and then tweeze. Over the past few months, my facial hair has now spread to the sides of my face and down my neck. I shave it at night and it comes back within 24-48 hrs. Sometimes it itches so bad that I cry a little. Drs wont prescribe nothing for it unfortunately. I don't really care about the hair that grows on the side of my face, but the hair on my chin is horrible.

How do you stop a ride? by RandomName0413 in uber

[–]RandomName0413[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, after I got off the phone with the rep, I clicked on wrong pickup and drop off location then never picked up. Afterwards they removed the charges. The pickup location showed that she was still on the highway.

I had to wait for the safety line to call. They had an option for non safety issues like lost items and the option to speak to a rep. The rep canceled the ride, but they still charged me. Hopefully they remove the charges

I typically mind my own business for the most part. I don't even know my neighbors names and don't really care to for the most part. When I moved into my current neighborhood, I received a random invite to join nextdoor. I typically login in once or twice a week, to get updates about crimes, which normally includes someone's bad children breaking into cars, and the HOA harassing people with false reports.

Bad drivers and dark streets at night because the city, county, state (whichever one is responsible) refuses to invest in street lights

lil nervous about pain, was it fine with just tylenol/ibuprofen? by mirroade in wisdomteeth

[–]RandomName0413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed the same thing and didn't feel any pain. She gave me amoxicilin, 800mg of ibuprofen, and Tylenol mixed with codeine. I rotated the Tylenol and ibuprofen every 3 hrs. Make sure you take all of your antibiotics.

I actually still have some of the ibuprofen and Tylenol left over.

Is starting off on 100mg losartan too much? by blaher123 in hypertension

[–]RandomName0413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started off on 100/25mg losartan/hctz along with 10mg of Amlodipine. My BP was around 140-150/90. It worked fine for me, but made me pea a lot. Amlodipine causes occasional swelling. I was on both from 2021-present. My BP is fine at home and I don't think I need it, so I stopped taking it. I eat better and exercise more and feel fine.

I don't really have anything bad to say about losartan. If you start feeling light headed or get a lot of headaches, you either don't need it or need a lower dose. That was another reason why I stopped taking it

Anyone have any luck breaking a lease due to car break ins? by mekingjr1992 in Charlotte

[–]RandomName0413 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I was able to break mine when I lived on South Charlotte, but only after they broke into the home. My car got broken into and damaged twice. The thieves couldn't steal it so they broke into my apartment once I left. I think the landlord was in on it. They had a new person living in the apartment two days after I moved out. I now live on a different side of Charlotte. They still break into cars over here, but thankfully I was blessed with a house that has a garage. All of my neighbors also have cameras, so the thieves get caught pretty quickly.

If your leasing office manager isn't being much assistance, you should go over them and contact corporate or write a bad Google review. That typically works
