Lucy, well, thanks for being the only one to notice that news about my brother (um, yeah, that kinda hurt)... It's hard... really sucks and hurts my heart. I really didn't need that bad news. *hugs* The "group" of Medicaid insurance he has doesn't cover it. It's so messed up cuz I have Medicaid too, and that covers dental and vision for me. We have to get him signed up for disability, and hopefully that should enable him to have those addressed. And I don't know for sure, I find out on the 31st. But *fingers crossed* I should be able to get something for pain I hope. And thanks. *hugs* I hope you keep feeling better. How has school been going now?

Light a candle for the sinners...Set the world on fire...
Cheryl, yeah, I've had psychosis before. Granted borderline's only one of my dx's, but for what I've read and been told, psychosis in borderlines is fairly common.

*hugs Cheryl* Sorry that's happening to you X I don't really have any advice as I haven't experienced that..
*hugs Dawn* I hope it all works out for your brother, he needs medical assistance! Also, I think we've talked about this before, but the system really is flawed...The insurance should be the same for everyone.. Anyway, how are you feeling? How are things with your meds etc?
*hugs Dawn* Sorry that I missed that stuff about you and your brother. Medicaid is a very flawed system. Hell, the entire US health system is ****ed up. Would you be able to get him onto the Medicaid group that you're on? Also, disability can take months or even years to get, just as a heads up. If you apply and are initially denied, get a lawyer and appeal - everyone is initially denied. It's apparently the way that they weed out the people who really need it and are trying to get it vs the people who think it's just a quick solution to apply for and get. If you want to talk more about it, I know a decent amount about it because my dad had to file for disability (and we're still waiting to find out anything - over 2 years later!), feel free to PM me :)

Cheryl, yes I have experienced psychosis. Granted, borderline isn't my only dx. However, from what I've been told/read, psychosis in borderlines is fairly common.

I couldn't agree with you more on this. And yes, we talked about it not too long ago. Mentally I'm alright, just king of up and down a bit. Fiancé woke up in a rather pissy mood and we argued, but I guess thing's are smoothed over. Most of my meds are in order. I also see my psychiatric nurse practitioner on Monday, and we'll see about what she will want to add/do away with, etc. Thanks. How are you?!

Sasha, thanks. I have Medicaid as secondary insurance since I'm on disability. The only reason I have that coverage is cuz I'm on disability. We'll have him apply for the state disability, and that should get him the "better" Medicaid. I really had no idea it was so difficult. And thanks... I know quite a lot about disability, I've been on it for almost 10 years now. He's applied in the past, but yes, he needs to reapply, and we'll maybe be having a lawyer this time, I'm not sure.

Dawn - Ah, ok. Yea, definitely get a lawyer. Like I said, my parents were told that everyone is denied initially, so get a lawyer, appeal, and settle in for the wait. Depending on how old he is and why he needs to go on disability, it might take less time. I hope everything works out for you and him. x
Mark, I'm kinda bleh. How are you?
