So medicaid sucks for dental, but this is what socialized medicine can
do. For at least the last 2 years I’ve been suffering from serious
fatigue and pain. I wake up and it’s like I’ve been beaten with a bag
of rocks before I even get out of bed. Doing anything, taking a
shower, grocery shopping, washing dishes etc was like climbing
everest. I have a family full of fibromyalgia sufferers. I thought
that all I would get was the hard side eye from doctors, or a Rx for
narcotics that would dull my brain. But I lucked out and my doc has
hit me with a multitude of minimal side effect treatments and a month
in I’m 75% better. I walked 2 miles today. I’m in a shit ton of pain
now, but 2 miles is like running a marathon compared to a month ago. 2
years of suffering with no insurance. One month with insurance and I
am a mostly productive person again. Go figure.(YMMV of course, but
I’m shocked as shit that the first round of treatment is working so
well. I’ve never seen that happen with fibro).
