Migraines Update

I finally made it to the doctor, after changing my appointment 3 or 4 times because my schedule keeps changing so much. He did some quick tests and decided I am getting migraines. I will go in for some other tests just to make sure everything else is ok, but it's most likely migraines. I told him how much I'd prefer to avoid drugs if possible, and he told me about a vitamin that studies have found to help with migraines. So I'm taking lots of B-2 (about 4 times the daily recommended amount) and I also have migraine meds now, for when I feel the migraine starting.

I went to fill my prescription and found that my insurance only covers 9 pills per month, despite the fact that the prescription from my doctor calls for more. So I guess we no longer need doctors; we can just let the insurance companies decide what's in our best interest. This obviously has nothing to do with health reasons and everything to do with cost. So I pay to have health insurance that leaves me in pain and won't allow me to get medication without paying for it myself. It's the same way with the chiropractor: the insurance only covers a certain number of visits per year (a small number), so I have to pay out of pocket for all of the other visits. Seriously, if my insurance isn't going to cover the things I need to stay healthy, what am I paying for???
