Is there a list of all nitrite food? I didn't know. I will avoid it if it makes it worse.

I take tigan with no side effects. It's not very strong, though-- but I like how well I tolerate it. I try to make sure that I always have a dose in my purse just in case. REglan and compazine work for me, but they put me in a foul mood, as they suppress dopamine. I have to remind myself when I'm on them that my state of mind will pass when the drug wears off. Sometimes those seasick acupressure wristbands work for me. recently, I've posted that a lot of my nausea seems triggered by my unstable neck/head. since wearing my neck brace more and being careful with neck posture, I've dramatically reduced how often I need nausea meds. My period also seems to bring on nausea.

Can you tell me about the nausea triggered by unstable neck/head and the neck brace? Where to get a neck brace? What kind? Why does it help? When?

I was given a script for a WALKER and WHEELCHAIR and told you can't get both at the same time and mentioned this and couldn't find the post so I'm just going to make it brief. I had to pay upfront 189.00 for a fancy smacy walker purliebule with a basket and brakes. I felt like it was my first bike. I thought the woman said I would be reinbursed in full by medicare/medicaid. Brain fog, I was having a major life decision going on picking out my new set of wheels and had been standing too long. The check came from medicare today 106. 18. I called the store she gets annoyed with me and tells me we told you that. I had told them that Walgreens had them on sale for 99.00 that week when I was at the store and they told me well they take care of all the paper work, so I went along with them.

I can't do math, never could and ask her so will I get more back from medicaid? She is annoyed again and gets off the phone and comes back and say maybe if they want to pay another 26.73. I tell her they are sussose to pay what medicare doesn't pay.

That's not what I was told and I had people with me.

Now I have to get a WHEELCHAIR and want one live someone here has purple, that don't have that so they want to find out who you are. Earth Mother was it you? I need to know is it a light weight, legs move up and down, are you exercise intolerant? Do you get tachy pushing yourself?

then she tells me I should get a PT EVAL BEFORE GETTING EQUIPTMENT TO BE SURE IT'S RIGHT FOR YOU, as usually with medicare they will only give you the standard and it's rented for a year and then you graduate to the light weight. Ok

next, I hate to admit the next, I'm falling in love (not) down so making it to the bathroom really hit me hard when I landed in the sink when I passed out here last night. I need a COMMODE, yes by my bed. I will have a nice write up on match.com, now wont I. Maybe I can make a nice cover out of sheets I love to decorate whith sheets. Guess what , they are covered as long as they are by your bed. Remmember that now.

Next item SHOWER CHAIR,, none of those items are covered at all. $49.94 for a SHOWER STOOL. I'll continue to sit on the floor of the shower.

COMPRESSION HOSE, now was it green who said they were covered by medicaid? Well, it all depends on the day you are there and who you are talking to as all my other items may be covered by Soft ortho provider that takes your state insurance.

cHECK YOUR STATE GUIDELINES FOR THESE MA HAS THEM:

If you have medicaid and disabled you can also get rides to you doctors with a PT1 form most don't know how to fill them out. You doc must apply and then you have to be approved. I have learned how to do all of this. The doctor is suppose to fill the whole thing out, but they don't know how. We need to be advocates for ourselves and others who are unable. It is like a script only to get you to the services you need. Have your provider go online to your state website. If they do this online it takes them 30 mins to process. By paperwork 48 hours, I have had to teach all my Pots docs how to do this on paper, next will be online as once you are enrolled everything is easy after that.

Also many state insurances will reininburse you for you travel expensives, look into that. Many people don't know that, as they would rather pay you than hire a cab company.

I hope this was helpful to those who have medicare primary and medicaid secondary.

It really sinks after working your whole life to be left with this insurance, but it's better than nothing.

FOR THE PART D DRUG PART, I'm so glad I got AARP, BEING DISABLE MAKES YOU ELEGIBLE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A SENIOR! you get to be in any plan that fits your drug needs. I chose the premium plan and pay for it It has been worth every penny. I think next year I'll bump it up the the next level so all vitamins are covered. I hope you know if you are declared disabled by the state you are able to change your part D drug plan monthly if you wanted. I have already hit ) co payments so I'm not swithing a thing and they have covered everything.

I''VE HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE ALL OF THIS.

Blessings and Love to all~

My wheelchair was payed by Medicaid in full. And it reclines.

I need to find some that don't make me vomit within a few minutes of taking them. Does anyone else have that problem?

I want to try stockings but I don't know what to buy. How much compression do I need? I have hyperadrenic POTS. Thank you

I use 30-40mmhg waist high by Jobst and Medicaid pays them.

If I'm standing, I might as well be sleeping. I never remember anything while standing.
