That rum really saved the night. It knocked down that fibro flare really well. Combined with the kratom though, it always knocks me out too. Sleep was decent because of it. Who would ever say alcohol solved a problem?! I feel super burnt right now though. I had the smart idea to put the walker in my bedroom last night, and I was grateful to see it this morning. I was so stiff everywhere and could barely walk. I’m just in a fog right now. Can’t think, afraid to move. I feel better than last night, but now I need to recover. I also need to prepare for whatever nightmare is in store for me today. SNAP folks were supposed to call today at 9, that never happened. This has been ongoing for 3 months right now. Someone called yesterday and said it was denied in error and they would send it back to the office. They should backdate it somehow for 3 months because of their errors, right? I’m sure they’ll take care of that. Man I would love to play some games. It’s been a week since I’ve really been able to. Still no appetite. Easter was just the one day that was good. No other days are even bearable in any way. Got caught up in the SNAP stuff this morning. It’s all sorted. An ALJ called only to say a different ALJ would be calling later for my appeal.The SNAP guy from yesterday called back after that and tried to get me to withdraw the appeal again. He didn’t even remember talking to me yesterday. I pushed him on why did he say yesterday that it would go back to the office for processing, but we’re still here unapproved. I also asked why it was approved in January, but somehow not approved now. He said it WAS approved in January, but it somehow got de-approved! Can’t make this shit up! He then scrambled and said he was going to approve it on the spot. They really don’t want these cases to go to the judge. Reminds me of workers comp when I had an “expedited hearing” because the insurance company wouldn’t approve something. The hearing was in 2 or 3 months. They ended up approving the procedure the day before the hearing so they wouldn’t have to go in front of a judge. I guess the judges don’t take very kindly to people fucking with patients/victims. Another ALJ called 5 minutes after the SNAP call and kindly explained a bit of what was going on. She said it was in fact approved today on an “emergency basis”. She said there will be back benefits paid out as well. She gave me the most information out of anyone. I should have something in the mail in a few days. I know that’s what they said 3 months ago, so who knows. HOPEFULLY it’s resolved and behind me and I have some extra help on the way. I’ll have to figure out how to use the benefits. Been playing TAB with an ice pack. Hurts a lot, but feels good to game. I’ve been improving since this morning. These fucking yo-yo days are brutal. 1 hour after taking the meds and I feel shitty. Side effects, but also pain from sitting at my desk. Not good. Played more games. Really hard with the pain. Ice is the only thing really helping. I rage quit a couple games. I don’t have the ability. Short walk. Felt like falling down about half way through, but I pushed through OK.
