Mike has had lots of weird things wrong with him lately, but it was just determined that he has extremely low testosterone. Of course they can't give him testosterone because it may cause blood clots. Now just let your minds go here a moment... I live with a MAN that has big hot flashes, cold chills, can't concentrate on anything AND has estrogen filled mood swings!

I think we may just need to send them to the woods together, Gayle!!!!

Oh Betsi! You are dealing with this idiocracy too!!! I know there is all kinds of fraud that makes insurance companies want to be so strict. And I also know they are looking out for their bottom line (why they want to change Mike's blood thinner injections). But that just makes it harder for those of who are just trying to do everything we can to keep our loved ones healthy enough to enjoy life. I know the reason Gary's insulin doesn't show up is because they don't want to pay for the type of insulin he has been taking. Yes, we can change back to a less expensive insulin, but the one he is currently taking is better for his blood sugar. OK OK, I can compromise but all this drama of getting the damned prescription to be available to him is just NUTS!
