I saw my primary doctor today. It was a six months check up after my yearly last November/December. My BP was good- I'd previously had a problem with high BP. All my vitals were good and my doctor reviewed my past maladies and said everything is good now. She wants me to lose weight. Oh surprise! Eat more veggies, walk 5 times a week and she prescribed Wegovy- a weight loss drug that includes bupropion. Unfortunately the manufacturer can't keep up with demand so it's hard to get right now. I'm not even sure if my insurance will pay for it. She also wanted me to see about getting a new CPAP mask as she said they can harbor bacteria and give you lung infections. I called my CPAP provider/company and they looked up my insurance and said "Your insurance will cover a new mask once every year.". YEAR! I got my last one on October 7th- though I didn't start using it until Halloween. So I've got to get through another third of a year before I can get a new one. I don't know who decided that masks should last a year but mine is starting to leak already! I have to sleep on my back. If I lay on my side the mask leaks big time. God! I hope insurance pays for my leep procedure! Anyway, so then my Dr suggests a couple of vaccines. One for pneumonia and, because I'm 50 now, the shingles shot. They gave me one shot in each arm. They have hurt since! OUCH! Reaching above my head is a big deal.
