I've read up on some of your previous blogs and I cannot believe this is happening to you! It's been a while since I've been here and I've missed a lot. I sure hope you do get a diagnosis by New Years. It's amazing that really how they diagnose is by a process of elimination. Sad, but true. I'm so sorry you are going through this and I can only hope that things get better for you soon. Take care, Elea and you're in my thoughts! I’m not sure what to say.

Girl. I feel you. Having had my blood taken so much while pregnant. Seems you never get used to it. :( Sad as that is. I hate needles, too, and I only had my blood taken alone once, the day after he was born. I always made my friend go with me to distract me, she wasn't very good at it, but better than nothing! Try to get someone to go with you if you're not already! Have them talk to you about whatever, maybe tell you a joke or something. As for as the health insurance, I'm glad you're not overlimit however if you feel you're getting charged too much for things, please be sure to fight it! My father-in-law was just telling me some hospital/insurance horror stories from over the years. One included a charge for something they never had and how he had to fight that. Another was the hospital kept billing them then the insurance came later and said they paid it ALL and the hospital flat out tried to keep the money saying, "we'll apply it to your new patient fee" - something that didn't exist until that second. Point is, they are not afraid to try and take advantage of people and they count on the ones who don't really look into their bills. So if you are unsure, run everything by them again and make sure it's accurate so you don't get screwed over! Hang in there! Ugh. Girl.

BTW, I hate needles, too (thank goodness heroin is not my drug of choice). Sorry to hear that the health saga continues. :( But I’m glad you can still find things to laugh at and be thankful for.
