Stopped again.

Stopped in my tracks again.

 Four years of stable health on a medication used for transplant patients. Because of the insurance companies guidelines and an uninformed specialist in 6 months on a generic brand I am back to the beginning. Back to where I was ten years in search of an answer. I learned how truly blessed  I was that lupus was so obvious when I sought out medical help in my 20's. I know the feeling women have when they talk to their physician to be brushed off. I was not heard. I went in every month with more and more reoccurring symptoms and new infections. My labs always appeared to show "mild indication". The specialist decided I was  "over doing it" or not "resting enough". Not once was the efficacy of the generic brought into question. Now I am on hold until I can compromise with the insurance. I discovered that once you get through the red tape with pharmacy benefits and then follow through with the insurance carrier the next step is the employer themselves that pick the plan and the guideline that come with it. It is so hard to understand when you look at the increase in premiums and decrease in coverage each year. It is in God's hands now.
