I’m out of the new allergy meds. The breathing meds say “call for authorization” which makes sense. I hardly ever use them and if I’m that sick, they want to have a look at me. But the daily allergy pill also says “call for authorization”.

Wha? I don’t think the Cool PA is an idiot or anything, but I know I am. I don’t get/should have seen/should have asked why it was “call for authorization” but I didn’t. I should have looked sooner than two days before running out to get a refill and the paperwork processed. I should have been tracking it.

But I’m not and I didn’t and now it’s dinner time and I don’t have the med. At least I have Zyrtec OTC around, I guess some allergy med is likely better than none. Argh.

That should be about the “two week mark” it’s supposed to take to process my claim.

I’m not swelling as bad as in the fall, but I’m exhausted as all get out. My fingers and toes ache all the time, and I’ve had a headache I can’t shake. And now the top of my head is sprouting a red raised bump that hurts like heck (after two weeks ago being crater face). It’s in the place that’s usually a weeping sore during “bad times” and that hasn’t been bad in a long time.

I know, I should have called them last week but I was so behind on everything I didn’t even think of it. I really miss the days of an on-staff corporate insurance advocate. Doing it myself is weird and a little hard. Harder because my brain has gone to mush. I hate complaining, but it’s also why I’m not posting – all I can think of is things hurt, it’s boring to talk about, and I can’t focus on producing anything other than whine whine whine …
