Hello it’s been a while since I have been on here. I had to resign from my teaching and coaching job due to MS relapses. Lost insurance and got Medicaid in October. Sent referral and records to UVA Charlottesville mid October and just now got call today that I can schedule appointment. Smh. I had to fight and argue just to get that much.In meantime been on no MS meds. Finally was at least able to pay out of pocket for adderral so have some type of energy which is good because I have three teenagers and landlord wouldn’t renew lease so had to move. Thank God a friend is letting us stay with her and moving was awful because it was just us three who had to move everything and we lost some of our items but still blessed. Suppose to get unemployment but takes 21 days and it’s past 21 days and no check yet. No errors just waiting smh. My daughter caught my sons saying that I was lazy and faking being sick while sitting in the car while I was fitting all our things in storage in the cold at night with no sleep for almost two days smh. I’m about done period. I can’t even cry anymore. Like I am numb. I am blessed and I know things are going to get better but I’m so tired and fell like nothing. Please pray for us. Pray if continue to stay strong. Don’t want to relapse again. We can’t afford if either thanks.
