If it doesn't I guess I'll have to figure out a new plan. It's hard because there is no way I'm going to the GI doctor (or my pdoc) as that huge hospital is going to be a breeding ground for COVID and already there are cases in that county.

Of course if my Emsam appeal doesn't work out I'll be IP myself in about a month. But I'm not going there yet. My pdoc got back to me and is ready to fight for me. I'm going to call the Emsam people tomorrow and if they have everything she'll call them soon and argue. If they don't have everything I'll have to be very, very calm and patient.

Wild Coyote the certified mail is a good idea except that a big chunk of it comes from my pdoc and the rest from me and not only am I avoiding the petri dish of my pdoc's office building but it's 5 hours of driving up and back to get those papers. So I'll just keep faxing and sending fax receipts. Or I'll sic my pdoc on them and they'll find those forms. I have no doubt of that; I've seen her go after them once and insurance once and she is a mighty force. She's this teeny woman, probably 4"11 as sweet as can be and yet I would never make her mad. I'm terrified of ever doing so.

Anyway, that's it for me. My state is putting a lot of isolation recommendations up and I see the next several weeks being very boring. But much rather boring that COVID with asthma or somehow giving my elderly mom COVID. Perhaps I'll pick up knitting again. Something.
Im going to cross all my body parts and hope yougart is a win and you can progress with daily...

What a mess dealing with stupid insurance over meds that havve proven to keep your stable.. Im glad you have a maybe small in size Pdoc but she will roar like a lion when need be..

I too am just staying away from people unless its a must.. I have meds to need to pick up tomorrow, Im walking in , pick them up and stay away from other people and come right back home.. I have no desire to catch the Flu or Corona.. Both could put my husband and I in the hospital pretty and we have no one to care for our dogs, must stay healthy! . Yes take whatever precautions you need to
