bummer news

so i found out yesterday that my insurance is not going to cover my lupron shots.  i have had 2 shots and need another 4-10 to finish this treatment.  with the help of my AMAZING friends and family, research is being done to find a more affordable way to get this treatment finished (like grants or manufacturer discounts or programs).  as i have mentioned earlier the shots are $600 and i am supposed to get one a month.
i am sad and fell a bit helpless - this treatment is the only chance i have of getting better right now because my insurance will not pay for the exploratory surgery needed to diagnose endometriosis and without the diagnosis i can not get the surgery that would most likely cure my endometriosis.  i am trying my best to keep a positive attitude and although i am having a bit of a pity party today, tomorrow i will be back to get shit done mode!

just in case you are interested - here is a link to a informational endometriosis website.
