I will try getting someone else to rub my neck next time this happens and I have someone handy. When I do it myself, it doesn’t so much affect the headache as serve as a distraction therefrom.
I still don’t have access to a swimming pool.
I am under 26, and I am on my parents’ insurance, but the problem is that sometimes I turn out to owe money for miscellaneous doctory things and doctors don’t or can’t warn me which things these are, they just say “okay we’re going to do this thing” and then it turns out I need to give them thirty dollars for this thing. Even when I remember to ask “hey is this going to cost me money” they seem not to know, since I suppose it’s insurance-dependent.
While most insurance companies these days have some sort of co-pay, the actual amounts and for what do vary quite a bit from company to company, and even from policy to policy.
This makes shopping for insurance (I’ve had to pay my families insurance out of pocket while contracting or temporarily retired) a real headache inducing experience.
Generally the front office staff (not necessarily the nurses, but the folks behind the counter) have more experience with the billing and can assist you in determining the costs.
