Fair play to you on dumping your health insurance, it's like a good feel factor like having plenty of money in the bank for a rainy day or runaway money that the wife has stashed away . I don't know when I stopped my vhi but it's a long while now.
Now not trying to compare illnesses but I had a very similar problem , it started the year before where at work my hands used to cramp up badly then at night my feet would and it was ages to get the feet to uncramp , then my energy was really failing and I was loosing weight and muscle and would have to come out of the workshop and lie down until the faint and beeds of sweat passed. Eventually a friend said he thinks it might be the water and I thought it was diabetes because two toes had gone almost black. Long story short I got a water filter cut out the sugar and like you started pushing my legs to exercise and push through the pains in my calfs. Now I have really bounced back and am flying again and building the arms and shoulders up at work and gardening , toes almost back to normal too and end result I have a six pac ance again hahaha well a flat stomach.
I actually though I was on the way out and my only worry was that I would drop dead in the workshop and the cats would have my face eaten before Sabrina found me , a bit gross but thats how the mind works. Well done again great story.
Thanks for telling your story Richard. It s great that you got well yourself. I read somewhere that the kind of sugar people put in tea is more addictive than heroin, and just as bad for us. Margaret got rid of her diabetes 2 when she gave it up. Sounds like you did the same. Well done.
Fantastic, clear, to the point writing. A read for anyone out there with ears to take onboard (I could do with taking notes, here). When I write, the boyos in the white coats are out like child-catchers, shitty shitty banging me all over the place. Or like a sergeant-major in Python, saying "we can't have any of that langauage now". Keep calling truths J.P, they do sink in. Those in the know have to understand, it has become like teaching children. We'll just take it, that everything is learned by osmosis and simply get on living our own dreams. Keep shining, keep aging like good wine. Best regards Phoeagdor.
Over three years without! How did our great-grandparents survive without it?!? I hold many insurance scams (and those who run them) in the lowest esteem.
Any operation that gets its customers to pay a regular amount indefintely, either for nothing (insurance) or for something useless/harmful (pharmaceutical medication) is a scam.
I heard such schemes described once as MFN (which I took to mean 'money for nothing')
In an autobiographical account, Samuel Clemons (Mark Twain) mentions his parents paid a yearly fee directly to a local doctor, as they had just moved to a new town.
For the last few decades, doctors have had to hire extra staff just to constantly wrangle with the vile insurance companies over payment.
Any impulse amongst the sensible to drive out the modern money changers?!?

Sounds like two vultures (doctors & insurance companies) fighting over which gets first bite of the victim (the rest of us).
Is it too much to hope they'd tear each other apart and leave the people alone?
