Happy National Headache Awareness Week
It comes around so quickly, doesn’t it? And now we’re caught buying National Headache Awareness Week presents and have to listen to National Headache Awareness Week carols…
It’s June 1-7
Well, I suppose we don’t really have any carols or presents to give during National Headache Awareness Week. I wonder what celebrations and traditions should we do this week?
I know — if we meet anyone who says, “A headache isn’t so bad,” we smack them over the head will a ball-peen hammer. This will definately make them more aware of headaches in the nation.
My Health Insurance Company Hasn’t Forgotten
I know my health insurance company is celebrating National Headache Awarenwss Week by sending me information to drive me around the bend. Today, my mail was graced with a thick package about my prescription drug plan. this included a list of drugs approved to be covered by the health insurance company. It was entitled, logically, enough, “Approved Drug List”.
But then they also sent me an equally long list entitled “Non-Approved Drug List”.
Why?
I have two college degrees. Perhaps they know this and think that I’m too much of genuis to have any common sense left in my head (perhaps if I did, I wouldn’t get headaches). If I can’t find the name of the drug on the “Approved Drug List”, doesn’t it stand to reason that if it’s not on the list, it probably hasn’t been approved?
How many trees had to die to make up the “Non Approved Drug List”? And how much extra postage did it take to ship the “Non Approved Drug List”? I want to know, because I’m the one paying for the tree killing and the extra postage. I thought I’d be paying for doctor visits and Prozac, but how naive could I be?
And people wonder why I get migraines.
Off to bang my head against the keyboard now. That way it will hurt a lot less.
