insurance

Good morning. 32 years old with two young children and pregnant with my third. Undergoing testing for a neurological issue, with ALS as one clinical possibility although I have no been formally or even informally diagnosed yet. I have life insurance through my employer but no private policy. I...

Hello, I went to a neurologist who suggested I had ALS based on my signs and symptoms. (Constant muscle fasciculations, positive Babinski sign, left side weakness and atrophy -atrophy in left hand and right around and now both calves- slurred speech and cramps where my muscles get stuck. Also...

A cost question here. When they came out they told me my insurance is paying 85% and I'm paying 15%. My 15% comes out to 178/month. That means insurance is paying $1008/month, and together we pay $1186/month. I asked for how many months until we own it, and she said no, no chance to own only...

Update, they are ordering bipap for me now! Finally had that visit with pulmonary, supine fvc was 48%, down from 64% in June, so I won't have to argue with insurance after all. Oddly my upright fvc is unchanged and pretty good at 75%

Hi All, I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on my husband. For about a year he was having issues with his back. He tried physical therapy and epidurals. Nothing seemed to help. Fast forward to a couple of months ago...we both started noticing him limping. He noticed that his...

I feel bad ranting a bit here, but will anyway:). My primary wheelchair, the Permobil C500s VS, had extensive work in December of 2017 (over $11,000). That was covered by insurance, but I had to pay a substantial deductible/copay. At that time, they were supposed to replace the motors...

So heres my current situation. A year and a half ago I started twitching widespread. Like a lot of people on here i turned to dr. Google and flipped. I saw a bunch of neurologists and the head als specialist at cleveland clinic eric pioro and kept pushing for an emg. Eventually i had a clean emg...

Hi all, We are going to be getting a hospital bed soon. I am thinking about a lateral rotation air mattress. My husband doesn't have much use of his arms. I realize that Medicare or insurance probably won't pay. I have a medical condition that requires me to sleep through the night. We...

Hi, I am 19 years old, I do have health anxiety, and I have been pretty stressed for the past 3 months. The problem is, about 4 weeks ago, I started twitching in my right shoulder, it came out of nowhere while using the computer. Lasted for a few minutes and vas visible, not in a pattern...

Really worried about potential ALS symptoms. I do deal with a lot of anxiety and obviously getting on google never really seems to help. Going to try and lay down a time line of how things have progressed over the past few months: Jan 2017- was having trouble with food getting caught in throat...
