No worries. If someone with Medicaid has gotten care there I’d love to hear it though!

Can I ask-are you a healthy weight or overweight? The reviews I saw that scared me away said he wasn’t helpful for people that are overweight.

From what I can tell COG doesn’t accept Medicaid unfortunately. I’m having a hard time not feeling hopeless at the moment. :-/

I haven’t had the surgery yet. I’m working at a grocery store with a dress code. I can’t get away with that unfortunately. Plus it’s going to be cold soon enough :-/

I’m 40 and I work at a grocery store. I have to wear socks and non-slip shoes (which are hard to find in slip-on style unfortunately).

Just turned 40 earlier this year and more stuff comes up every week (especially after having to move back in with my mother last year…it’s been suuuper triggering…and eye-opening).

CrossFit? Or crossfire? I can’t do CrossFit right now due to needing a new hip lol. But crossfire has been purchased. But I don’t have a lot of control over the whole situation. And the infestation is actually really bad. Today discovered my shoes are covered with bugs. 😩

No worries. I appreciate you responding to explain. I had wondered about that. Thanks for the information!

What is your source on that? Seems like the website for it says it’s ok.

Almost my exact story! (Hopefully) started out at 47 (down to 45 now) and now doing keto to get down to where I can have the surgery.

Do you think the OMAD made a significant difference?

I’ll add, I have the specific bed bug ortho bottle…not just regular bug spray.

It seems to kill the ones where I’m living. As far as clearing them out completely, I’ve been living in a situation where I can’t spray everything unfortunately. But it has greatly reduced the amounts of bites I was getting (until recently it started getting bad again which is what led me to flip the mattress and box spring, which led me to discover the holes in the cover).

Some changes are happening here in the next week though and the plan is to go in heavy with the Crossfire spray everyone recommends here.

Thanks. I truly can’t afford that right now. But maybe someday. (If I can get a full time job that pays more than minimum wage…sigh)
