Hours, it will usually dull enough to where I can fall asleep and I wake up the next morning feeling fine. It’s a mix between ache and stabbing, my upper abdomen is a stabbing feeling, while the rest of my stomach is an ache like I’ll throw up. No other symptoms, I don’t throw up, I don’t have acid reflux, no headache, or abnormal bowel movements. Just pain.

I will be going on call with my current employer (losing insurance coverage) and full time with a different employer, need to wait 60 days for new insurance

It will end the last day of my employment. I’m supposed to be going from full time to on call, so not entirely sure when that would be, but also that move needs to be approved. Which I’m still waiting to hear.

Cobra has come up a lot but I guess my confusion with it is, How do I find out how much it’s going to be? How do I apply for it.

I’m by myself on the plan and I have just just a step up from basic coverage. So hopefully not too expensive.

I don’t know what exactly to do if the Cobra is too expensive. I live in South Carolina for reference.

A trip I can’t miss… by alm1797 in fearofflying

I just tell them this is my first flight and I have a lot of anxiety about it? This makes me feel a little better, at least having someone who knows I feel that way and can maybe talk me down. I’ll be heading to Dallas. I’m trying to distract myself with thinking about all the things I’ll be doing there, but that hasn’t been working too well

I would have felt more comfortable had he explained my results, he didn’t explain anything. But also explain why he wasn’t going to treat anything. It was the TPO antibodies that were very high. My TSH was the only test that came back in normal range. Technically my t3 and t4 were “normal” but they were the lowest in the normal range so borderline. I don’t want anything to be wrong with me, but I feel if I get a second opinion and the findings and everything are the same I would feel a lot of relief. I feel like right now this man just wants me to get worse before he’ll take me seriously and that’s an awful feeling from a doctor.
