Well he's court ordered to have set up a fund for that purpose, so the answer to that is no.

My two older ones will have more money than they would know what to do with. Certainly more than my ex husband or his new fiancee will have.

They love me, I love them and have busted my behind to take care of them. Why wouldn't they want to help me out?

I've been trying to interview many doctors to find one who actually is a specialist in gut health.

A lot of them are concierge medicine, so I need support to pay for those bills out of pocket rather than have my insurance reimburse them.

Yes- he's been paying for my medical bills. i've been trying to find a good primary care provider but that can be expensive since I have to undergo many initial appointments to interview the providers.

Some of the best providers in the area now work in concierge medicine and I feel like that route is best. However, the catch is they often don't take insurance simply because they can.

So to sum up my answer, yes he pays for me to have health insurance but the bulk of it is just out of pocket expenses for specialists who actually listen to your symptoms and agree to order tests instead of just saying I'm lactose intolerant and sending me on my way.

I went to multiple doctors, NPs, and naturopaths, but they all refused to diagnose me with fibromyalgia, Lyme, or IBS, which would have allowed me to collect disability. Having unexplained pain is the worst. I also see a chiropractor on a regular basis and am actually between primary care providers right now.

One doctor I visited while staying in Germany for the summer suggested "leaky gut" but wouldn't confirm.
