My wife has had trouble with them burning her. We both have better luck with Tiger Balm patches.

Well, I don’t recommend using a heating pad where the lidocaine patch is placed, the resulting second degree burn in the shape of the patch was, well, painful. just another duh me moment in a lifetime of stupid things I’ve done. 😳
 
Ok now I'm p*ssed. The lady at the FMLA told me she was listing this as leave of absence & then she turned around & listed it as short term disability which I don't have as part of my insurance policy so they denied my claim. I'm trying to find out how to get help with this because I could lose my health insurance because of her mistake.

At husband’s company when you are on FMLA, you have to pay for your insurance out of pocket because you are not getting a paycheck. Make sure she sets it up so you are billed at home for the insurance or you will lose it.
 
I get a paycheck from work with my EIB & ETO. If I have to pay out of pocket like COBRA or something I'll have to let it go cuz I can't afford it. I'll have to reapply for the ins. next year.

I'm still waiting to hear from someone at work.

Yeah, I very familiar with the end of that stick 😂. Husband got shorted 300 dollars on his paycheck. They are checking on it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Good thing the stimulus is coming.
 
This sucks because my claim got denied. The doctors seem reluctant to give any meds for the pain or any time off or restrictions let alone give me any ideas for self care while I'm healing. If I lose my insurance then not only will I have to re-enroll next year and start over...I'll probably get stuck with all the bills from the ER and stuff. I don't understand if insurance is supposed to help a person why can't they make it affordable and not make it such a hassle to make a claim when you're out sick? Being sick is enough of a burden without the added stress.
