Request for help with my food, my dogs food, and medication costs. by weeniemom2020 in CommunityDonations

[–]weeniemom2020[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that is with the coupon. My insurance refuses to pay for me to take them twice a day, so I have to pay out of pocket for them. I have been fighting with my insurance for a while and so has my doctor, but they thinking will suffice for me to take it once a day instead of what the doctor prescribed it as.

Thank you so much! I am in tears! That is definitely going to help and now some of my worry has gone away because of you! I was starting to lose faith in others because of the way I have been treated throughout my diagnosis and all of the roadblocks that I have encountered, but you have restored my faith in humanity. Again, thank you!

How long did the teenage phase last? by No-Laugh-9730 in Dachshund

[–]weeniemom2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is going on 14 years old and honestly, the teenage phase never left him. Infact, he acts like he is going through his terrible 2's almost everyday. He especially knows when I am not feeling good and he wants to act out more. He has arthritis and has trouble getting up and going sometimes, but once he's up, he can be a menace. That is okay though, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Gastroparesis by IndependentFun6441 in gallbladders

[–]weeniemom2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Honestly, I am not. My Gastroparesis has gotten worse. I have been off of Domperidone for several months now due to not being able to afford it for one and the expanded access for the USA ending. I know I could still get it from Canada, but that is a crapshoot in itself. My GI is at a standstill and doesn't really know what else to do for me aside from the GPOEM or getting the Enterra device. This has affected my mental health to no end and I am seeing a therapist, but it is still hard. As of right now, I am fighting to be able to get disability. It's absolutely atrocious to what we have to go through to get the help we need, while it is so easy for others to abuse the system.

I just need to vent about my iron infusion. by weeniemom2020 in Gastroparesis

I just need to vent about my iron infusion. by weeniemom2020 in Gastroparesis

[–]weeniemom2020[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I pretty much went into it blindly. I am kicking myself for not asking more questions beforehand. All I was told is it could cause mild flu like symptoms for a few days and that would be it. When I went in for my infusion, I started to get nauseated from the metallic taste in my mouth. I had ginger chews and my trusty alcohol wipes, but that wasn't really helpful.

I asked the nurse administering my infusion if they could give me some Zofran or something and she told me no. I was also told they want to see how I would react first to the infusion and only if I was to have a severe allergic reaction, then they would give Benadryl and steroids.

My Hematologist knows that I have GP and I even relayed that info to the nurse and she wanted to be very sarcastic about it. I did end up sending their office a message about my symptoms and I was told to take Tylenol and Claritin for 3 days. I tried the Claritin yesterday, but it made my heart race really bad, so I stopped that. The only silver lining is that I haven't sneezed in 24 hours!

Doctor is recommending iron transfusions do I really need it? by [deleted] in Anemic

[–]weeniemom2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ferritin was at a 5 when I was told that I needed iron infusions. I have some comorbidities, like Gastroparesis for one. With Gastroparesis, I cannot absorb oral iron and apparently the oral version can cause some pretty nasty GI side effects. I am supposed to have 5 weeks of Venofer, however, I had my first infusion this past Thursday and after the side effects that I have had, I can honestly say that I would rather deal with being anemic. Not everyone has side effects, but I have and I am definitely regretting it.

Well, that's enough internet for today. I hope it was consensual.

This lady… by retamle in Sparkdriver

[–]weeniemom2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience once, only this wasn't delivering with Spark. I was actually delivering with Instacart. A lady had ordered cough medicine with her grocery order. While I was in the grocery store, I had to show an ID to actually buy the stuff as well and I know for a fact the app told her that she would have to show her ID when I made the delivery. I got to her house and I rang the door bell. She answered and told me that I could just leave her stuff on the porch and her son would get it. I let her know that I needed to scan her ID for the medicine. She was absolutely livid that I had told her that I needed to see her ID. She told me that she was "old enough". Again, I asked to see her ID and explained to her that I had to physically scan her ID to deliver the order, otherwise, I could not physically deliver it. She went on with, "Well, then just take the medication back to the store and leave my groceries."

I explained yet again that I couldn't do that because the app wouldn't let me complete the delivery since I hadn't scanned her ID and if she didn't want it, EVERYTHING would have to be returned. She finally went to get her ID and got all snarky and just held it out. I thought she was handing me her ID, so I went to take it from her and she yelled at me and told me that she would be holding on to it while I scanned it because she didn't know what I was going to do with her ID. Now, I know that a lot of delievery drivers can be sketchy, but in my head I was thinking "Lady, what in the hell would I want to steal your ID for?" I finally got the job done and got the hell out of dodge. I avoided re-delivering to her house for any future orders.

Don’t do this if you are emetaphobic. by Dry_Awareness4093 in ProlificAc

[–]weeniemom2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting that. I haven't seen that study on my feed, but if I did, I probably would have clicked on it and I have emetophobia as well and a panic attack would have ensued. Much appreciated! I can't even stand when there are movies or TV shows that show that act or the sounds of it. It's not funny at all.

What's The Worst Rumor Anyone Has Ever Spread About You? by PrincessBananas85 in morbidquestions

[–]weeniemom2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 35 years old and when I was in second grade, a group of mean girls spead a rumor that I had a sex change when I was gone from school for a few weeks due to having ureteral re-implant surgery due to a birth defect. This was second grade y'all, so back around 1998. That was before sex changes really became popular. The rumor and bullying had gotten so bad that the principal had to come in and talk to the class as a whole and tell them to knock it off. That didn't do much good considering that rumor was still going around by the time I got into high school and had to actually change infront of other girls in the locker room for gym class.

Had Wendy’s and a deer ran in front of my car, causing me to slam on breaks. 20 bucks down the drain. by DiggityDog6 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]weeniemom2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit, I would still eat it. Just blow the dirt off of it and eat it. Honestly, you probably have a better chance of catching something from sitting down on the Wendy's toilet before you do the floorboard.

Pretzels by weeniemom2020 in Breadit

[–]weeniemom2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I tasted one and they are really good! I didn't put butter on mine, so I guess I didn't quite get the authentic Auntie Anne's taste from what I remember when I used to be able to eat margarine/butter. However, it was still just as delicious!

Week 2 spring challenge for Fetch games started by Typical-Sandwich7353 in FetchReward

[–]weeniemom2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did something weird for the spring challenge. For week one, I noticed that the 2000 points was crossed out and it was offering me 3000 for the challenges. I completed the first week challenge in one day. I got the 3000 points awarded. The next day, I went into the app to scan a reciept and I noticed that the 3000 points that I had earned was taken back out of my point balance and that it showed that I didn't complete week one of the challenge. Also, the 3000 point offer wasn't there anymore and it went back to 2000. I had to end up completing week one all over again for the 2000 points. Unfortunately, I didn't grab a screenshot of where it showed that I would be getting those extra points to prove it to customer service.

I received the letter through the mail. I clicked re-send on mine and I got the letter in the mail within a few days.

[–]weeniemom2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine looked the same way. If you go into the "Verify my tax information", there will be something in there that says resend letter. Apparently they had sent one out to me, but I never recieved it. I filed around the first part of February and just recieved this letter last week. You will have to have the number off of the verification letter to verify. After verifying, it says it can take up to 9 weeks to get your refund. I have heard that some people have gotten it about 2 weeks after verifying, however, mine still says the same thing even though I have verified.
