Time to refill my meds. Full price again. Contact my insurance, they applied the wrong code, acknowledged it, said it'll be 0 cost again after they fix it. Now I have to wait. Healthcare as a Service is a mistake.

Some dude put two motorcycle helmets with cameras out of sight on my porch with their cameras facing my front door. Not entirely sure how to feel about it. I also see no motorcycles parked in sight, so now I'm even more confused. Anyway, I moved them and pointed their camera at a wall with a note.

I genuinely despise the entire nonsense healthcare system we're subjected to. Have a rare disease? Get fucked, idiot, pay more than you make annually to stay alive or die. Stay poor, moron. If you didn't pay so much, how could our overlords enjoy their everyday vacations? Need more yachts.

Update: Through an entire day of phone calls with my insurance, multiple other organizations, and so on, my meds are fully covered for I think six months. :| Small victories, I guess.

This feels very first world problem to complain about, but a major problem with having stock in the company as part of my corpo pay package is when they're valued 60% less than they were a year ago and declining. And not because the company is doing poorly at all.

Medical update: The meds are working, I'm finally out of the "might just die" zone. Bad news: it's the meds my insurance refuses to cover.

There are new treatments available now, ones I haven't tried, ones I have trialed. They're all also unimaginably expensive, but much less destructive on my body. This disorder runs in my family, I know what's coming on this path. It's not great for me. But hey, gotta make sure those CEOs make bank.

Road @thatroadguy.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
I was denied coverage because "there may be other treatments available that I haven't tried first". I have over 30 years of dealing with this disorder. I've tried them all. My body is aging, it can't take many of those anymore. They are poison. These chucklefucks are not specialists.

Had I not had a refill from my previous doc for a smaller prescription that I need, and had my current doc not slipped me a sample bottle of the medication he's fighting to get me on, I would have been out of meds Friday, just putting that out there. But don't worry, insurance is working on it!

I just downloaded LibreSprite and started playing with it after getting fed a YT video that sparked me into making this. Still working on it, no concept of lighting or shading or anything. Very fling paint at canvas approach.

And now my amazing insurance provider is refusing to cover the med I'm already one. Prednisone. I mean come on. I need my immune system shut down to live, but it's more profitable for me not to, I guess. Thanks, Capitalism.

I've been playing a lot of Fallout 76 lately. Since October. Mostly just building things.
This is my dumb character in Fallout 76. I just need a pumpkin helmet now.This is a market I made in one of my Fallout 76 CAMPs.Interior of a treehouse I made in another CAMP entirely.Yet another CAMP I setup. This one I submitted for a Best Build at the request of another player.

My numbers are up enough to be dangerous but not deadly, so that's neat (from 3 to 33). Meanwhile my insurance is telling my doc the meds he wants me on are covered, and telling me they're not. Insurance is a scam.

Successfully made it to 40, albeit barely. Now back to being sick, immunosuppressed, potentially bleeding through my everything and most importantly, Fallout 76. I have my priorities. Staying alive sure is expensive.

Sure glad my insurance provider doesn't cover any medications for my condition except Prednisone, which I pay about $2/mo for. I didn't need my immune system anyway. It wants me dead, to be fair.

Shit sucks, our elected officials are too stupid to realize they're repeating history in the most Idiocracy ways possible, and to top it all off I just found out my Oncologist responsible for my 2020 and 2023 treatments passed last year while doing my paperwork for my new Clinic. So neat. Hell yeah.
