Okay, I did not sign up for Healthy Way LA at that time. I have Now, yesterday, in fact. Here is my link to that post. Actual post about really signing up.
Link ----> How To Sign Up For Healthy Way LA
I heard the lady wrong the first time on Monday. I actually pay $125.00, not $105.00. However I have the option to only pay $80.00 if I want to, and pay myself for my meds.I don't pay the money every month, only the months that I see a doctor. So, if I can get my doctor to write me 3 or 4 month prescriptions. . .this will be worth it. Specially since I am going to ask to go back on Straterra, and get on anti-anxiety drugs.
The only reason I went off Straterra was the money. I managed to cough up the $200.00 bucks a month long enough to know that it really works for me. I'm also going to ask to stay on Ritalin as well. I have read about this combination in the ADD forums and I would like to try it.
The anti-anxiety drugs, ooh baby I need them. I wake up in the middle of the night convinced that I left the garage door open at work. I worry about the house burning down, because I left my hair straightener plugged in. Not ON, just plugged in. I drive around talking to myself about my paranoia about losing my job, both my jobs. I latch on to any little statement made and I magnify it. Of course it doesn't help I have a boss who likes to make cryptic remarks. Two weeks ago, " I'll keep the employees that know how to do everything," does this means he's thinking of laying off? Cindy says he's down to minimal staffing. Does this mean he's thinking of letting ME go, and having him or Sharon, or his son doing the deliveries? I don't know, but of course I worry about it. [My worse case scenario is that he fires me after Mother's day.] Ya, I worry a lot, and try to extract meaning from every comment made. . I have intrusive thoughts. I can't make them shut up. It's getting to the point where I wonder if I'm going over the edge. I would like to be able to stop worrying about everything and nothing.

iris,
how did you sign up? i have been trying to sign up for this...
please email me back. =)
I can't figure out how to access your e-mail, yours is the first comment I've gotten.(:)) What I did is go to the county hospital, to the healty way office and showed them my pay check stubs, to prove my income. The amount you make determines how much you have to pay.
Iris, looking to sign-up myself. Read your blog. Never read one before. My psych issues faded away once I started eating whole food/ wild salmon about 3 times a week. Takes time and effort but gets tons easier really just stick with eating real food you recognize as chicken, pears, apples, cherries, brown rice is great as is old fashioned oatmeal and almond milk is greatest thing! has magnesium and sleep improves greatly once I started that and eating seeds and nuts too. I never ate those before and Mom hated fish so the omega's were rare as a kid and I grew up seriously depressed and off center so to speak. I'd quit eating when I got upset and that was the 'tilt' into borderline lost. You can do it I did. Pills are stop gap not cures. They won't put you but only close to where you want to be. We have to do that or GET to LOL. So looking into signing-up since my medicare ( I'm 58 and dinged-up good now poor big time. Need health fixed and no dough :\ ) medicare just doesn't cover thyroid or adrenalin issues. I awaken in the night feeling terrified and at least 4 inches bigger around than only 2 hours when I first fell asleep - feeling like Little Nel tied to the train tracks and THERE is the blinkin' TRAIN and wake up that way HUGE. Working on getting a grip. Walking helps too if you can get enough exercise to burn off the stress. I'm in Gardena. Do you know where to sign-up here?
Any info is good. With head injury my memory is tough so I'll bookmark your blog and check back with you. Be well woman. The other half of life is genuinely going to be better than ever. I won't have it any other way and I deserve to put the paranoia behind me too. Show 'em what you can do kiddo. Never give up on yourself!
