I'm posting like a fiend today and for that, I apologize...
Not even certain what forum to post this in 'cuz I only ever talk about epilepsy in 'The Kitchen' so if it needs to be moved then I fully understand....
Uhmmm.. just started the new job... I don't qualify for medical insurance until my 90th day... but what is Cobra? I've heard of people taking that insurance BETWEEN jobs and it's supposedly good? (I've had medical insurance for about 2 months in my whole life... 'bout long enough to be diagnosed with E and then left in the cold...)
Also, I know a hospital was helping me by referring me to a 'sports medicine' doctor(closes thing my hospital knew of to a neurologist in Indiana) and saw him a couple times last year on the promise my State Medicaid application would come through and pay(it didn't so he 'fired me' as a patient, 'cuz I couldn't pay at the time.)
Anyone ever gone to a doctor and said, Hey, I get insurance in a couple months, can you help a brotha out? Maybe not in so many words, lol.
I've called the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati and they worked with me for hours to get me to the hospital in Indiana that sent me to a sports medecine guy who fired me... no clinics or anything in Indiana... and I can't see anyone in Cincinnati,OH which is much better 'cuz of my address... so I gave up a long time ago, but if I'm gonna be able to work, I'm gonna need some meds. I can't have jerks and 'tiny tonic clonics' and migraines like this and continue working - it's just way, way too stressful. If I have to, I'll just seize out everyday at work until I get insurance hopefullly but... now that I officially having a job, seeing if that helps my chances at all of getting help in INDIANA. Indiana is like an empty, desolate wasteland and I have jumped through MANY, MANY hoops, trying to find help.
Ya'' are my last shot - to see if someone knows about getting medical care that I don't know about or can tell me something about now having a job which helps me get medical care.
I just desperately want a doctor and I envy all of you who have one.
