I am 26, not established so I cannot afford to give 25-40 bucks to the doc for every visit, I'm already paying off 200 for the doc to come see me for 5 min in the hospital and owe 7000 to the hospital b/c apparently I have an existing condition (sickle cell) and had to wait 1 year to go to the hospital for insurance to cover it. I feel lost and entrapped to my own body. I keep getting crisis, like I have now and everyone says I need a doc but I cannot afford it. When I do go to a doc they haven't seen me long enough to entrust the meds to me that will really help so I feel like I'm in a cycle of crisis, pain and not enough money to do squat about it. I take like 4-6 over the counter meds and am afraid b/c if the pain doesn't die down w/ that I take more b/c I cannot function in this pain. what can I do? I'm at my wits end? If I stress I get sic, if I stand too long I get sick, if it rains or gets hot then cool suddenly I get sick. What am I going todo? I need help but cannot affor it if it comes to paying the phone bill or going to the doc I will pay the phone bill. I guess I am venting more so that asking a question. I feel stuck on stupid but my body won't let me get out. I'm inpain but can't get help. There aren't any programs that will help me, this is crap! Every other ailment has programs set up to help them.
