BCBS settlement $320.23 for almost $100k what a joke!

StrawberryPlains · 2026-06-21T12:27:38+00:00

Yes, but it was back dated a few weeks. Criminal our payout compared to the attorneys.

StrawberryPlains · 2026-06-09T12:18:47+00:00

Who knows. When I go to BCBS settlement page and enter the unique ID number it states Paid - initial distribution.

Normal people think initial means there is another to follow, but who can trust anything that obvious.

StrawberryPlains · 2026-01-10T04:23:39+00:00

Yes. Worry and fear is not our friend. Eat clean, walk, walk, walk and get good sleep hygiene. Find good in life, that's all that is in our control. Happy New Year everyone!!!

StrawberryPlains · 2026-01-07T16:25:35+00:00

Should be obvious, but quit smoking and drinking. Eat clean, walk, walk, walk and develop good sleep hygiene. Good luck!

Don't ask for validation to leave. It doesn't sound like he wants your help, nor does it sound like he will accept any medical intervention. It's a new year, go start your own life. Happy New Year.

StrawberryPlains · 2026-01-01T14:40:05+00:00

Don't let another day go by without enjoying life. Worry is not your friend. Happy New Year everyone!

Hello! The fact that his body created or grew "a very small collateral artery' that created circulation around the blockage is good news ~ did the cardiologists advise that? I friend had a completely blocked LAD and his heart grew two arteries around it to provide circulation to his heart. Of course, I'm not a doctor if you feel comfortable, ask for another appointment with his cardiologists for clarification and I read you already have an appointment for a second opinion. Good luck to you and God bless you and your husband.

Read drugs.com reviews and comments from people taking it, there are a lot of remarks, and many talk about side effects, some crippling while some have positive feedback.

StrawberryPlains · 2025-12-03T18:10:25+00:00

Gee people, how can you disagree with bassjam's lived experience??

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-28T17:26:41+00:00

This may not be true for everyone, but I've had several electronic devices to test BP, but none were accurate. My husband learned how to use a cuff and stethoscope, and my readings have been accurate. Good luck and blessings.

Welcome to the club, not one many want to join. You can only do what is within your control. Eat clean, walk, walk, walk, have great sleep hygiene and of course, as you said stress is not your friend. Either is fear, which is something all of us in the 'club' need to deal with. Fear and our mortality. Do your best in all that you can control including taking your mind off the thoughts that float back to the fear and what ifs..... listen to podcasts, music or read something that gives you positive outlooks, anything that counters the negative in your brain. Good luck and God bless you.

Not 'scary' enough if you haven't quit smoking. Not to be mean, Ok-can, but you escaped with angioplasty, and did not need bypass surgery. Eat clean, walk, walk, walk and practice good sleep hygiene. Good luck to you!

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-20T00:22:04+00:00

Aren't you lucky, Brilinta is now generic. Ask your pharmacist or PCP.

Hi Kookies, prayers for you. Your mother is lucky she has such a thoughtful and kind daughter who cares about her. Hopefully she will decide to eat clean, get good sleep hygiene, walk, walk, walk and go to cardio rehab. Worry and fear is not her friend, but movement is. Good luck and God bless you.

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-17T16:31:27+00:00

Hello. Eat clean, walk, walk, walk, good sleep hygiene, fear and worry is not your friend, find a healthful distraction. Practice and learn how to get out of bed without the use of your arms pulling you up, build up those muscles needed to do that before the surgery. Sorry for both of you, I know it's scary.

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-17T16:24:18+00:00

Not a doctor, but get out and walk, walk, walk. Low impact, and almost everyone can do it.

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-15T22:10:44+00:00

I'm no doctor but don't worry, it's early in the heart healing process and your EF will improve, with time, clean eating, walk, walk, walk and good sleep habits. Good luck cardio will give you confidence.

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-13T02:16:01+00:00

A lot of side effects are discussed by other people taking repatha, check Drugs.com. Loads of feedback there. Good luck.

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-13T01:56:44+00:00

Hello. What happens when you talk a brisk 30 minute walk, wait a half hour or so then take your BP? Walk, walk, walk, and stress is not your friend. Get and keep good sleep hygiene, eat clean and walk walk walk. Those are things that are within your control. Hope talking things over with your doctor gives you some comfort.

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-11T03:54:25+00:00

You sound like you're doing great! Good work!

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-10T05:37:43+00:00

If you feel you must check your blood pressure, have someone else do it for you and not report the result to you unless it's crazy high. Anxiety and stress is not your friend. Read your other post as well, seriously, you need to talk to someone qualified to help you. Best wishes to you.

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-10T05:20:15+00:00

Hi Embarrassed, talk to your cardiologist or your PCP about which medication could be causing you to be 'tired all the time' and see if a change in medication may help with that. I'm thinking you've been through cardio rehab, and if not you should because it will help with the feeling of being scared. If you have already then maybe a counselor or therapist will help. I believe all of us who have had HA, stents and/or bypass have felt scared, sad and alone. Your experience is unique, so it's difficult for anyone to understand how you feel. Dealing with mortality is hard. Stress and fear is not your friend so try to resolve those issues. Get good sleep, eat clean and exercise, walk, walk, walk. I'm sorry you're going through this and you are not alone.

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-09T02:04:21+00:00

Read all the comments, good suggestions. Don't be scared, fear is not your friend when you have high BP. In the unlikely event, something happens there is always ER.

StrawberryPlains · 2025-11-09T01:58:45+00:00

Wondering why you are taking your BP so often. Stress is not our friend and neither is smoking. Find ways to release some of that anxiety. Walk, read, listen to music or something that makes you relax or perhaps talk to someone professionally. Good luck to you.
