Eight weeks without the medication I need because of insurance delays and endless back-and-forth with the doctor’s office. I’m exhausted, frustrated, and honestly feeling like I’m losing my mind. 💔 If you’ve ever had to fight just to get the care you need, you’re not alone. I’m taking it one day at a time and refusing to give up. ❤️ #ChronicIllness #AutoimmuneDisease #sick #help
