Surreal Life....

mdehnersI had clinic this week and still am kind of nonplussed about it. Pretty much every + came with a minus. It was like being trapped in a bad Comedy skit.
On financial. I was OKed for some assist for Meds. Not enough for the aids meds but enough so I'll at least be able to afford comfort. The "kicker" is that when I get sick enough to be Hospitalized, provided I live through whatever Infection(s) I get I'll have full coverage again for at least 1 fiscal yr.
I dropped 300 T-cells but no change in virus titres, which my MD told me was do to me being Stressed and gave me a 101 Relaxation booklet;>. She was also annoyed with me that I was not taking certain Meds that I could no longer afford. I'm used to this. There is this Weird racist BS that if you are a White man and can't afford your treatments it's somehow your fault. Change Race and Sex and NO ONE thinks this. The nurses don't but since I was one of them they see their Future if they don't "Marry Well". It's hardly new. I remember overhearing workers at SS talking, wishing that I would "die before any money was wasted". I used to think it was because I'm Gay but over the yrs I'm beginning to think it was more due to Race and Gender. Like all social services, they're considered to "belong" to certain groups by those groups. Oh Well....
