Biologically male procedures only. EDIT: If the two people who downvoted this question could explain their reasoning, I would be super interested. No judgements. This is a safe space!
Idk? Boob job? Dental work? Extra set of arms? I wouldn’t know
It’s the US, so dental isn’t included
Oh then get a quadruple bypass since you’re in America
Op asked for help, not to be murdered.
Any minor physical pains? Could see a physical therapist. If you use a computer a lot, your posture might be bad and it helps a lot!
Get an MRI for, idk, back pain.
Get prohibitive dental work. My teeth are fucked from no fluoride in the water when I was a kid, so I always have more work needed.
Lol dental work isn’t covered under health insurance. Teeth are luxury bones that only the rich are allowed to keep!
Aw, but all my other bones are so low maintenance.
To your “edit” point: Don’t take a handful of downvotes personally; it’s pretty easy to do accidentally on mobile so they may have been unintentional
Some people also use downvotes as way to say they dislike something. Unlikely, but some people might be down voting to indicate they don’t like the insurance industry.
To add to that downvotes have no serious negative effect on this platform
In reddit as soon as a few people downloaded you, you disappeared
Here people can brigade you and unless you’re reading top, who cares, your stuff still gets seen.
Oh I know. I am genuinely curious what anyone found so objectionable. They are welcome to their opinion, I’m just very eager to know what it is.
Emigrate.
Shop around if you don’t like your GP. Tell them your situation and ask them for a referal to every specialist under the sun. Get tested and innoculated for absolutely everything they suggest.
Do every test available for prevention and prophylaxis.
Get your general practitioner to do a full health check, ECG, EEG, cardiac ultrasound, a full blood panel, bloodpressure, pulmonary function, skin cancer prevention ect.
Schedule a gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
Check in with an urologist to get your prostate and urinary tract checked.
If you can, get a full body scan. Either PET or MRI.Nearly every serious disease or health issue is easier prevented or treated when caught before it casues real issues.
Every cancer there is, has a better outcome and is easier treated when found early. Most of them are silent until very late in the game.This is something I would recommend to anyone: Take advantage of every preventative messure or examination that is available to you!
There is no illness that you can detect too early.Omfg, don’t get a PET-scan ‘just because’. You would literally have to be injected with radioactive particles. The other stuff, while not necessary, will atleast not kill you faster.
Last paragraph is also massively oversimplified. Getting a ‘you have cancer’-speech and treatment for a superslow growing prostatecancer will fuck with your mind and body more than the cancer itself. That’s why most health care systems advise against general PSA screening.
The kicker is that I just moved here and don’t have a PCP (primary care physician) yet. AND my company is switching health plans next year, so I basically need to find someone who takes BOTH health plans.
Until the insurance decides they’re not covering it for some reason and OP is stuck with the bill.
Get all your injuries out of the way. Do a bunch of dumb shit to build character
What you mean is, your HMO has had to dust off the “not medically necessary” stamp.
Colonoscopy!
Similar boat. Getting my snoring looked into. Got a sleep study done and now I’m having an ent do a scoping to see what’s actually vibrating and what can be done.
I tried Cpap and just could not tolerate it. I just got the Inspire surgery last month, which I think is the only other viable option in existence right now.
Mandibular advancement splint is another option.
This is a major one!
Sleeping is a third of your day. There’s a lot of health issues that result from bad sleep/snoring. and the worse is that you’ll never even know it.
My wife had a sleep specialist provide helpful strategies after her pregnancy and her back pain stopped.
Snip snip
I don’t think you need health insurance to play Gwen
Not Gwen specifically, but I’d recommend seeking mental health resources to anyone who has been exposed to League of Legends.
When this happened for me, I went and refilled my sumatriptan injections as fast as I could and actually used those for two years afterwards, it did save me money. If you need any extra dermatologist stuff, mental health, physical therapy, do it now.
Do you snore? Get a sleep study and a CPAP - thats pricy! Need a colonoscopy? Gel shots in your knees? Any family histories that would warrant testing for cancer markers?
Just had Inspire surgery. How do you think I hit my maxes lol! What I do think I have also is arthritis.
I was curious so I looked up the inspire website… this has got to be the best accidentally hilarious medical video I have ever seen:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BOnZjPD6n5Q
Who directed this monstrosity!?
I only made it to the 0:28 mark. That may have been the worst “acting” I have ever seen.
I’m curious, how did you find the surgery? Did it work well?
I’m still in the “ramp up” period, so I’m not getting the full effect yet. I need to get used to having my tongue muscle electrically stimulated, with increasing intensity, forcing me to stick my tongue out. It’s a very odd sensation at first. And it’s been rough going, not gonna lie. But I think with some timing adjustments it will do its thing. I have only heard good things from everyone else who has done it, so I’m honestly not concerned at this point. Also, I am a cyborg now, and I have my own remote control, so that’s freakin’ sweet!
Do you charge it with a magnetic charger like a Fitbit watch?
Nay. The battery is good for something like 15 years.
If you’re beginning to struggle with joints, get on the PT, MRI route while it’s free.
