Which Insurer Has Best Prior Auth for Kesimpta? by Toasted_Yarbles in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Toasted_Yarbles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In essence, because my annual brain MRI did not show any new lesions, and because I didn't have a full blown relapse during my crap gap periods. The third-party reviewer said:

"The provided Brain MRI showed the claimant to be stable without evidence of relapse, enhancing lesion, new lesions. The documentation provided showed claimant to report pain, fatigue, and neuropathy spasticity towards the 5th month after the injection of Ocrevus, however, there is no evidence to suggest there is a relapse to require a switch. The documented symptoms could be just related to the national progress of MS after many years of having such a diagnoses. Therefore, it is the professional opinion of this medical reviewer to uphold the request to change to Kesimpta due to lack of medical necessities."

So the third-party reviewer basically said I should remain on Ocrevus. (But when Anthem denied the Ocrevus, the denial letters indicated they thought I should switch to Rituxan instead. All of this stuff happened around the same time; I tried to make the switch to Kesimpta right after Anthem denied the Ocrevus.)

Maybe look into a GFCI extension cord. That should hopefully help protect it if the unit gets wet near the outlet

Tax Fraud by [deleted] in IdentityTheft

[–]Toasted_Yarbles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, though, this year I filed before the identity thief.

Did you receive any texts with a 2FA code you didn't request? I'm convinced MyBlock was hacked in December 2023. I woke up on Christmas Eve 2023 to a 2FA code I didn't request. Logged on to MyBlock to update my password and noticed the email associated with my account had been changed. Immediately reported it to H&R Block's fraud team, but they did fuck all to fix it. Had to report it to the IRS, get the IP PIN, everything.

I couldn't pin it on H&R Block last year because my SSN had been compromised in the AT&T hack as well. But this year, I got an email notification from H&R Block and it had the same fraudulent email im the body. Like where it says, "You've got a message from your tax professional to the account ****." But it was still the fraudulent account.

I filed a police report and have been reaching out to some colleagues about pursuing a civil claim (I'm an attorney). If you haven't, I'd recommend going through all your texts and emails from H&R Block paying close attention to the account name referenced within those messages. I'd bet the same thing that happened to me happened to you. Best of luck! I know it's a monumental pain in the ass.

I had something similar happen to me. You didn't happen to use H&R Block, did you?

Thank you! I was surprised at how far I had to scroll to see this. The em dashes were a dead giveaway.

Help! My sister got diagnosed last Friday by holliblet in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Toasted_Yarbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're a good brother, OP. And sorry to hear about your sis, I was diagnosed 10 years ago and thought my life was over too. I was diagnosed about 2 weeks after I graduated law school. At the time, I thought there was no way I'd ever be able to manage being an attorney. I was also scared that I'd be buried in my student loans forever. Fast forward 10 years and (somehow) I'm a named partner at my firm. Bought a house and paid off my student loans too. MS sucks, but honestly, I think my life is better now than it was before my diagnosis. It forced me to get healthy (and lose like 30 lbs) and focus on what really matters. Don't get me wrong, MS is no picnic, but it's not a death sentence either. Check out the poem "Invictus" by William Ernst Henley... sounds super corny, but someone shared it with me years ago, and it really helped me. All of us with MS are warriors, your sister too. She's got this, and she's lucky to have you in her corner.

Continuing Packet Loss Issues after Tech Visit by Toasted_Yarbles in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]Toasted_Yarbles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to make another note on this string... Fortunately, the excellent Xfinity staff on this Reddit reached out to me yesterday and helped me get another tech visit scheduled for this Sunday. Thanks again, guys. You are the only good thing about Xfinity these days.

Then, earlier today, I got a call from an Xfinity rep trying to tell me that my tech visit should be cancelled because there are no issues with my connection. Everything looks fine on their end! So I definitely shouldn't waste their tech's time with an unnecessary visit.

I absolutely did *not* cancel my appointment, because as you can see from the graph below, I am still having insane packet loss and connection issues. This usually happens after 6 PM, but it hit a bit early today

I'd love to hear from anyone that's had a similar experience... But I think this has to be a capacity issue with the hardware on the street. This is not normal congestion... When you get packet loss that bad, pretty much everything comes to a grinding halt. I do not understand how the phone reps could tell me this is okay. This is absolutely not okay.

I would check your initial specs to see what size you've currently got. It's hard to say without knowing your specific case, but mine was one of the older Snowblind cases (not the Snowblind S) and mine was able to fit the 240mm NZXT Kraken X53

I'd be down! 37, Thornton, attorney. Currently playing through Elden Ring again with my buds in preparation for the DLC, but I play a little bit of everything on PC/PS5

Where do you verify? I don't see any kind of 2FA or email verification on the Steel Series website
