After denial #3 I should be getting approved by Medicare, my secondary insurance. I am so happy I got Part B at the last minute on Dec. 30th so that I could start my coverage on Jan 1st.
And just so everyone knows, it was Medical Mutual of Ohio that has denied the treatment.
Sorry it has been a while for my latest update but I’ve been having some problems logging into my site. I can log in on my phone for now, so here we go…
Steroids are awesome. For me anyway. It’s as though I feel closer to “normal” after I get an infusion. Granted I can’t sleep for three days, but my pain is mostly gone and my walking looks and feels better.
As far as Northwestern goes, the pre-authorization request from Chicago was finally received by my insurance company. So, now it’s just a wait and see thing. Once we hear back then I should be getting my dates to start Mobilization.
My fundraiser has been going incredibly well! I am truly amazed as to how many wonderful people I have supporting me through this, financially, but most importantly emotionally. Not having to worry so much about the cost is the best Christmas and 40th birthday present ever! If I start mobilizationin January then my stemmie birthday will possibly be on my actual 40th birthday. Kinda cool!
Hopefully his will be the last time I need steroids for my MS. I know I’m due to get some at Northwestern when I get my chemo but hopefully this is the last of it.
17 steroid IV’s is enough for me in this lifetime. I’m ready to get on with my life and live it to the best of my abilities.
I’m hoping to hear soon about insurance coverage and hear about when my official start dates for mobilization in Chicago will be. The sooner the better!
