I had my fourth visit of acupuncture today, and it went well. By the end of the session I could feel my whole back on the table; that's HUGE! For the last 33 years when I lay on my back I only feel the left side of my body due to my curvature and twist. It seems to be getting better, but it DOES bring some pain. In the long run I know it's worth it, and hopefully I am doing the right thing.
Today my doctor presented me with the "game plan" for the next six months and what it's going to cost. It's a pretty good game plan to my knowledge, but to come up with $3615.00 in one shot is a bit tough right now. That's with a discount since it's a prepay option. The other option is pay as as I go or such and it comes out to about another $1400.00; ouch. I'm redoing my GOFUNDME to help pay for THIS rather than my high deductible my insurance.
GAME PLAN:
2 visits per week for 16 weeks
1 visit per week for 8 weeks
6 re-exam to go over status and progress
3 Herbal Consultations
Herbs themselves - help my muscles, liver and kidney with their deficiency.
2 nutritional consultations
This is the FIRST thing in the last 33 years that seems to have helped QUITE A BIT and I am relieved of the pain. I wish i qualified for some type of aid to help pay for this. It really sucks that insurance doesn't pay for stuff like this; especially for people like myself who have to seek OTHER forms of medical since it's too costly for regular diagnostics and such. I do not want a rod put in my back, but tethering I would possibly entertain the idea; it doesn't see AS crazy.
I go back again this Thursday (in two days) and somehow need to make this happen. I have a feeling I'm going to have to go with the pay as you go, and suck up some how pay the $4,644.00
We shall see.
