The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
This was the reason the insurance company declined my application.
They say it is not their policy to insure people with a history of anemia. What a crock! My doctor said she was so pissed when she read their reason for declining me.
I have had low heboglobin because I have had very heavy monthlys, easily changing the strongest "plug "every 45 - 90 minutes on some days. Now I take Le Pill to control the flow....a result of me having those blood thirsty things in my baby-carrying case - it's hereditary. (The non-meat eating track I have been on for over a year is also in an effort to curb the blood supply to them).
So I'm pursuing this with vigour. They don't know that I is Jamaica and wi nuh tek foolishness!
By the way Dr D....which condition is likely to cost the insurance company more money.....
a. Somebody with anemia
OR
b. Somebody with diabetes which requires medication???
(I suspect I know the answer. Bun fyah pon dem medical advisors the insurance company uses).
Actually, me thinks my iron is low cause I feeling tyad nuh rahtid these days. Shhhh, don't tell dem.
Posted by yamfoot at September 26, 2006 08:11 AMI suspect you are right about which condition will cost them more money.
But, if your Hb is low and you are anaemic then you need to be taking some haematinics....Tri Hemic is good, and some Folic acid 5 mg once daily. Of course, eating no meat will not exactly help the condition. But which fool fool insurance company is this anyway?
Posted by: Dr. D. at September 26, 2006 08:26 AMI cant say the name online. When I see you on CHat, I will tell you.
I used Sobifer when I was in Jamaica. The pharcamy here never heard of it! When I come to jamrock, I will get some.
But I eat fish! And even when I used to eat meat, I would still be low in hb. I'm telling you....it was bucket fulls coming out monthly!
