I really hope so too β₯οΈ
Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. There are times where I see people trying to help me with this on here, and I just cry out of happiness, relief, and knowing that people really do care about me and want to help. π₯Ή
(21) PTSD when thereβs no guarantee any of the treatments will work.
(20) to focus on finding a provider who can do the surgery and fundraising for all of the expenses if I need to, is because the surgery is done once I do it. I never have to do it again verses having to constantly fight with insurance and a bunch of other things just to try to get treatment for the
(19) anyhow I didnt mean for this post to be so long, itβs just really complicated. To clarify, I can legally pay out of pocket as long as I find providers who are NOT contracted with Medicaid. so I can fundraise for non Medicaid providers if I need to. and the reason why i feel the best option is
(18) I still hold out hope, and I still look into things when I find potential treatment options, but itβs pretty damn hopeless. The system is so broken that no amount of βthinking outside the boxβ to try to get help got me anywhere. It was always a dead end.
(17) then it will come my way at some point. But if not, then it is what it is and I wonβt be able to get the help I need.
(16) get the medical care I need, etc. and after so many years of trying, I was utterly exhausted from it. I had no energy left to make even one more phone call, or to do anything else to try to get help. I was beyond burned out. so I finally just said fuck it, if Iβm meant to get the help I need
(15) to give those injections was several hours away from where I live.
so thatβs the recurring combo of issues I always run into. itβs either insurance, canβt legally pay out of pocket, have no money to pay for a hotel room, have no car, no one who can take time off of work to take me to
(14) Iβve also looked into getting injections in my neck to treat the PTSD because thereβs evidence it works really well for some people. well then I found out that just 1 injection would cost $4,000. and I would have to do it more than once a year. And the only provider I could find who was trained
(13) so I canβt switch my insurance at all, and I also canβt even move away to be closer to the healthcare I need because again, I will lose my doctor and then there goes all my access to my meds.
(12) works. and those meds are some of the only meds that have adequately treated my severe OCD. before I got on them, I was having compulsions up to 13 hours per day. you couldnβt pay me to live like that ever again.
(11) if I do then I will lose my doctor and all other access to the clinic I go to. Heβs one of the very few doctors who will prescribe the meds I need because they are controlled substances. Most doctors wonβt prescribe them at all or if they will they wonβt prescribe the dose that actually
(10) so just accessing therapy has been incredibly frustrating because thereβs no therapists where I live who are available and take my insurance. I have also tried to switch my insurance just so I could have better access to the healthcare I need and I canβt even switch my insurance because
(9) so TMS sadly didnβt work out at all like I hope it would. and then thereβs the countless phone calls and emails I have left for therapists just to try to get EMDR in person because I tried EMDR online and it wasnβt effective. I have been on waitlists to see an EMDR therapist for 5+ years.
(8) I didnβt see how I could possibly raise thousands of dollars just for 1 week of my very first TMS sessions only to have to come back over and over again and somehow find a way to constantly have fundraisers that would cover the cost of the TMS sessions in the long run
(7) do what they call βmaintenance sessionsβ, because the effects of TMS usually donβt last forever. they told me I could do TMS and I may have to come back within just a few months to have more sessions done. so it felt impossible to do it.
(6) who the hell has $10,000???? And thats not counting the transportation costs, having to pay to stay in a hotel for a week, buy food, etc.
the cost of it alone felt completely out of my reach. and then what really made it feel pointless to me was that lots of people who do TMS have to
(5) so at that point I was fucked. there was nothing I could do to access it. and even if I could pay out of pocket for it, they said just 1 week of what they call βaccelerated TMSβ which is basically having multiple sessions every day for a week..cost $10,000.
(4) they need if they are on Medicaid. it doesnβt matter even if Medicaid wonβt cover it. if they wonβt cover it, your screwed.
