I did the online appeal today. It took me about 3 hours. I wanted to get it out of the way because I was spending all day and night worrying about it. Probably will get denied again, but at least I made my point about needing the insurance to get my meds stay out of the hospital. I also told about how the medication side effects (such as Geodon causing me to faint), makes normal functioning difficult. Maybe they'll actually read instead of jumping to conclusions, but I doubt it.

Now I'm worried about that donut hole thing. I'm not sure if my state insurance has it. I guess I'm not up to the maximum if they do. I started getting meds through them in October of '09. My meds are very expensive and I'm on 5 different ones.

If I get denied again, I am getting an attorney who specializes in this sort of thing. I can't afford to give up.

Thanks for your support.
