Oh well
Looks like this is pretty standard treatment. I think we should try some other companies, but it is not looking good for my husband.
Since his cholestrol is now normal (without medication) is see no reason he should report that, but will check with doctor. As far as I'm concerned I guess there's nothing we can do.
Like other couples the best case scenario seems to be I get help if he dies, but he does not if I die. That makes me feel rubbish.
I was very naive and just assumed our insurance premiums would go up, not be refused.
I don't mean to be a so and so, but I feel like a bit of one right now. I mean, sometimes I do feel you get stung for working hard and sticking to the rules. You can look at the sweating and sacrifices you make to try to do right by your family only to descover you might as well have both gone on the dole for all the good it does you when you get older.
Thank you all for your (very prompt!) replies, and thank you for your best wishes too.
I am not ill. I am the best I have been since being diagnosed and have had 4 weeks without any anti-inflammatories or other pain killers. Still the migraines are a thing of the past. I have a rheumy appointment to discuss my last lot of 'lupus blood tests' which have all come back negative. The antiphospholipid result was described as 'low and probably normal'.
Just what this means is beyond me, so I have decided not to think about it and just sit tight and enjoy the current ride.
The recent difficulties are not related to my health, thank goodness.
Am a bit anxious about my diagnosis though. Am beginning to think I might have been misdiagnosed, which, in a way, would be great. However, the thought of being taken off the Plaquenil is a worry. I didn't feel well for many many years, so I associate feeling well right now with the Plaquenil. I think I have been on it for about 9-10 months.
Oh well, deep breath and PARK that thought, eh?
