Migraines and money stress.

Aug 13, 2016 21:44



Dehydration + stress + too much screen time = Fighting a hell of a Migraine today. Just finished my bills. Been drinking a ton of water. Getting away from this screen.

My biggest stressor right now is money. I paid a med bill that was really high, then helped someone, and couldn't get my other bills down, and that puts everything behind. Since I'm already behind, I can possibly catch up, but with meds always being totally up in the air I never know how much I'm going to spend on them.

I'm just glad that right now the majority of my meds are 10.00 a month. I have a prescription plan that would get them for me for 10.00 for three months but all but 2 of my meds are not eligible. So far this year I've spent 1,217.30 on meds. With my current scrips the way they are, assuming there are not many changes I'm looking at another 120 a month if I get my migraine pills filled every couple months. Because I hit my deductible, at least my Cymbalta is 10 every 3 months instead of 600 every 3 months. The largest chunk of that was actually the diclofenac but its the one that helped me the most aside from Cymbalta.



Because of all this I'm not able to make my normal payments on CCs (which I stopped using a while ago) and the finance charges are starting to come in and hell that will just be more debt that I won't be able to get down. I may do debt consolidation for all of those because other than store cards (which I'm doing fine on) I don't need my card anymore, not even my Costco one.

I am gonna go take a pill and make dinner, then lay down. At least there shouldn't be any more work stress today.
