More complaining...

I took the antibiotic a good 5 hours ago and so far I feel worse than I have since this thing first attacked. Probably not a cause and effect but still. I'm so tired of this cough.

On the bright side, the antibiotic - not covered by insurance - was $3.29. I was astounded. My inhalers (one of which is basically generic) are like $200 a pop. The disparity is wild. This country's medical cost situation is just out of control.

And speaking of insurance...

And I just got another phone call from Humana. There are 3 pages of communications preferences on their website. My selection is DO NOT communicate with me but if you feel like you must, then email only. Last September I bitched on Twitter and was, supposedly, put on their do not call list. I just bitched again and was, again promised this elusive and clearly ineffective do not call list. Those people really like to fuck with me.

It is truly a night for easy comfort food dinner... sausages and mac n cheese.

I'm declaring today the worst and tomorrow starts the better.

I'm always shocked antibiotics are so cheap too (and yes, disheartened about the overall medicine market situation otherwise). They'll kick in. Feel better. Xoxo

Have you tried using your albuterol inhaler when a coughing fit hits? In theory, albuterol opens up your airways.

I'm trying to keep myself albuterol-ed up all day for that very reason. This afternoon was cruising along and not coughing when it came time for the next dose... and it started a huge coughing fit. grrrrrr

Well dang, that's not how it's supposed to work :(

I think so much of the world has it figured out. So silly that we do not.

Thanks!

Humana don't seem very organized. A previous tenant here was apparently a customer of theirs and I kept getting mail from them for years. Even though I kept sending it back with colorful "Addressee unknown" stickers (https://flic.kr/p/5Ap2tf). I don't think I've got any Humana mail this year but I've lived here for 9 years now...

And I really hope you feel better soon!
