For Those Of You On Bradley Forum

[nepas]

Thanks everyone for your friendship and support. I have met a few of you in person and have many of you in chat, email or FB.

I got an email yesterday asking me whats wrong and why am i leaving.

I'm not leaving, just going to calm down some with a few things.

Some of you know that i am a Type II diabetic. I do blood work every 4 months and so far im close to being in check. For a couple months i have been really tired and achy (more than my norm) grouchy and just blah. Last month i did my yearly check up and 6 tubes of blood. I was fearing something bad going to be said by my doc. She calls me with my results and says that my Testosterone level is 180 which is not good. A guy my age should be between 280-300. So she prescibes Androgel. Nope Ins wont pay for it $500. I find out that if you have any federal Ins this drug is not covered. I have medicare and Fed BCBS. So she calls in Axiron at $497. Nope same thing. I get a call from her saying that i need to then come back to her office every 2 weeks for injection. Doc its 185 miles 1 way for me, cant i inject myself? So she says sure since you use a pen for your type2. Pharmacy calls says my scrip is ready. Wow same stuff in the topical for $12 and 10 syringes at ¢25 ea. What a rip we are getting by big medical companies.

So all you guys go get checked. Low T can lead to some serious medical conditions.

WHEW That was more than i said in a long time. 

Again

Thank you all for being here for me and what y'all do for our Q forum.

Rick glad you got the medication you need.

Rick I will be praying for your Health.  Don't go to the Bradley site much anymore as most of my friends have moved over here.  You did a great job over there!  Just so you know, you got me hooked on sausage stuffing and are responsible for me spending well over $2,000 in equipment    Every time I buy some new equipment I think.....It's all NEPAS fault.
