totally overwhelmed
the bcp saga continues.
so, after doing some research, i've learned that my current pills and the ones i liked that i was taking before have the same active ingredients, in the same dosages. i tried researching the inactive ingredients, which are different, but most of them are just preservatives or dispersants.
since my insurance company is dumb, i have to look up each drug individually to see if it is covered. it's a pain. but, i found a website that lists a bajillion different brands of pills, and it tells me what the ingredients are. it's alphabetical. i have gotten halfway through the Bs, and I am totally overwhelmed.
oh, and the kicker is that when i look up my old pills on the insurance website, it still says that they are covered. so now i'm totally confused and angry.
okay, vent over.
Re: totally overwhelmed
I would tell your insurance company they have to cover them since it's listed on their website. Not sure if that will actually work but it's a try.
I wonder why ingredent in bcp would make you feel tired? Do they have one with caffeine? I joke....
How are you supposed to figure out which one is good for you when there is that many? Plus, if you switch one every month, doesn't that screw with your body?

i guess "tired" is a bit misleading. i don't feel tired like i want to take a nap, but rather tired like i just want to sit on the couch and stare at the wall, as well as physically tired. walking up a flight of stares is exhausting right now, which is completely ridiculous.
on top of that, i have a mild, constant headache, kind of like a pressure all around my head. and i feel very detached from everything. like, i know that i'm doing stuff, but i'm not really a part of it. on a really bad day, i feel like i'm drunk, but without the fun drunk feeling. it's very frustrating to feel like this.
coffee helps a little bit, but only a little and for a relatively short amount of time. last year, before she switched my bcp, my doctor kept asking me if i'm depressed. i don't really feel sad about things, other than being constantly exhausted, but now i'm wondering if being on some sort of anti-depressant would help me. i'm not opposed to it, and i really don't feel like i have a lot of things to talk to people about. this isn't a mental thing for me, it's a physical thing that is making a mental thing. i think what makes it harder is that until now, i haven't really told a lot of people. dh knew, but i don't think he totally gets it. it's hard to expect anyone to understand it unless they've been there.
I would totally call them and share that info with them. Print it out, get a screen shot, something.
