I'm having a hard time finding a good doctor under my insurance plan and can't afford a doctor out of pocket. Under my plan I have one doctor in my county and I've already seen him and he overdosed me with a million drugs and put me on an antidepressant which made me manic if I forgot to take my other meds, but if I took my other meds, I was a zombie. Anyways, the other doctors are about an hour and a half away and I can't get there. My community clinic can't get me in for 3 months. I explained this to my primary care doctor and even though they aren't comfortable with treating me, she decided to do it, because it's better than having me off of my meds like I have been since July. ANYWAYS, she told me I should call and ask for written permission to go out of network on my insurance and all I will have to pay is my co pay and be able to go to ANY doctor I want. I was just wondering if anyone else has done this and if it worked out good.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
cares about you which is good. Is is of course
best to have a Psychiatrist treating you but
for now at least you have a Doctor who can keep
you on what meds you need. I've heard of going
out of network to get another Doctor but I've
never had to try it. May be some of the others
can advise you about this?
