You know what I've heard is good for allergies? Cil...
Have you ever tried acupuncture to help relieve your allergies? I know a guy who owned a bike shop and had allergies so severe he had to quit riding. He looked into acupuncture and after a few treatments... he was riding again.
Haha. No cilantro!
I haven't looked into acupuncture, but I am doing immunotherapy (allergy shots).
The epipens are for the food allergies (tree nuts). The environmental allergies were terrible in the past, but the shots have helped a great deal. Unfortunately there is no treatment for the food allergies...all you can do is practice avoidance.
Wow! Is that for one or both of them? Either way, that's dang expensive. I've only seen them in shows, and I never thought that they cost that much. Does insurance cover it?
It's for the two pack. They don't sell them individually. Insurance does cover it, fortunately (I'm having to pay 10%).
That sucks man. With my mom's insurance I get them for only our copay price which is like $15, but that ends this September. That's not encouraging that I'm looking at those prices.
Well, hopefully your insurance covers them as well. There's no reason for these things to cost as much as they do :/
Here's my medical insurance plan:
$1380 annual premium (increasing to $1428 next year)
$2000 deductible (work gives us an $800 fund that goes towards that, so $1200 OOP)
then $1500 coinsurance where you pay 10% until you meet the threshold
then they pay everything
So far I've met the deductible and I've also spent $780.09. If I spend another $719.91 in the next couple weeks, everything else will be free
I did put $1600 in a flex spending account, but I spent 99% of it by February. I increased it to $2000 for next year.
After we get married my premiums will more than double and my deductible goes up to $3500 (I think the coinsurance increases as well). I'll be pricing out her plans as well of course. Depending on how much things cost, we might end up keeping separate plans :/
