Thank You, BCBS

When people say the struggle is real, they aren’t lying. Stupid Blue Cross and Blue Sheild won’t cover my treatment because they think we are going to use it for experimental purposes. They also said they wouldn’t want to waste it on me if we are just trying. First of all, it isn’t for experimental purposes, it for my health. Second of all, it isn’t a waste if it is helping me. Sometimes I wonder why there are stupid people in the world. I just don’t understand.  

While we wait to see if I’m going to get treatment, I am on a whole bunch of different supplements. Honestly, I feel like they aren’t doing anything for me. I still feel the same; nothing is helping. I hate this whole disease. And the fact that the doctors and insurance don’t believe in it just blows my mind. 

This whole waiting thing is hard. Some days I feel like I am going to explode and that no one understands. I would rather clean an athlete’s jock strap then live like this. 

For anyone who is reading this, just know that I understand what you are going through and that one day it will get better. I had a coach who use to tell the whole volleyball team “This too shall pass”. That kept everyone on my volleyball team going and we never give. Just remember that. It will one day pass and get better.
