Medical Struggles o~o
Added 2020-02-21 00:23:30 +0000 UTCHi guys!
I'm gonna be real here, I'm going through some rough times. My health insurance is refusing to cover much of anything I've needed recently and it's getting overwhelming.
If you guys have considered pledging, now would be a great time for that because medical stuff is expensive and being unable to afford this important stuff is stressful as heck.
Sorry I don't mean to sound like I'm begging, and I would absolutely love to make something for any pledges made during this hectic time to be worth your while, so I'll think of something; it's just been really hard.

I'm already a patron (it's just a little bit and I wish I could do a lot more, but I've got a lot of my own medical stuff, too) and I don't need anything from you except for you to be okay. Please don't stress yourself out trying to think of something special to make for us when you've already got so much going on. I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I have a lot of health problems myself and I feel like I'm locked in constant battle with my insurance company (my Rx insurance, in particular, is real ornery about covering necessary and specific medications (I made one of their phone reps cry - not because I was yelling at her or being mean, but because I was crying and begging (see? don't ever worry about begging); she was actually that upset that she couldn't help, so. People care.) Also, I'm just gonna throw this out here, but if you need any help fighting your insurance company, I'm getting pretty good at it. I know I'm a stranger on the internet, so this probably sounds kind of creepy, but if I can help you in any way, I will. If you've got a doctor that is 100% behind you (this is key), things *can* get appealed and you can win. It's just looking through their criteria with a fine tooth comb and loopholing your way in OR (as in most cases), calling them up and asking them why they're denying you care when you meet their own stated criteria. At that point, you get your doctor involved. Make them justify themselves and get it on record. Like I said, I know this probably sounds super creepy coming from a stranger on the internet, but after my own issues and watching so many people around me struggle with insurance company bullshit, I'm angry and I'm ready to fight ALL the insurance companies. If I understand correctly, you're transitioning, so I can't even imagine how stressed you are right now and how much this is hurting you. If I'm wrong, apologies for assuming. Either way, you need medical care and insurance companies screwing you over about needed treatment is just unacceptable and awful and you don't deserve to be treated that way. I don't know why I'm posting all of this. I guess I just want you to know that you're seen and heard and that you shouldn't feel bad about doing or not doing things for random strangers on the internet. As grateful as I am to have your mods in my game, your health is the most important thing. Speaking of mods, you might post a link to your Patreon (if that's allowed) on your MTS mods. That's where I discovered you. I didn't even *know* you had a Patreon. I just happened to stumble across it or get linked to it or something. I don't remember how I found it, but before, I was constantly checking MTS for mods from you, so if that's a thing you can do - or feel comfortable doing - you might find more patrons. I wish I could do more for you. I wish the very best of luck and you'll be in my thoughts.
