Good news and less good news!

Good news: I GOT A JOB! Starting Wednesday I will be an Underwriting Facilitator at a local company that seems like a really great, comfortable place to work. Plus, health benefits! I'm really excited. After a long, LONG and disheartening search it feels wonderful to know I'll have money of my own, that I can contribute to my household and that I'll feel like I'm doing something useful.

Though I will admit I'll miss spending hours a day futzing on the Internet and playing video games.

Not so great news: I saw my regular doctor and they just have a policy that they will not prescribe any sort of painkillers if they haven't done tests to pinpoint with more complete accuracy what the issue is. Which I understand, but it sucks. They did help me out with other suggestions and now that I"ll be working I can save up to get any needed tests to make sure there's nothing else wrong that I need to worry about. I'm also seeing just a regular GP on Saturday to discuss the same issue and they may be of help to.

Anyway. Yay jobs!

Morgan, you may look into doing double insurance if you can afford it. I don't know what your insurance situation is but here in OK, we have the ability to have a primary and secondary (even tertiary, if it applies) and the secondary insurance helps cover and sometimes can even eliminate the out of pocket cost of the primary. If you have a benefits specialist at your new job, I would schedule a meeting unless you know someone who is well-versed in the industry.

:edit: sorry about the info-vomit... I worked at a doctor's office for quite awhile dealing with ins companies and my mom was a benefits specialist for several years. I like for people to get the most benefit from their healthcare.

Sorry to hear about the GP issue. I was hoping they'd relent. But Congratulations on the job and the imminent health insurance! Hope the GPs suggestions are helping until you can get the proper treatment.
