I have been diagnosed with a couple of really irritating illnesses, endometriosis and high blood pressure, both at a "younger than usual" age. What I don't understand is why is it so hard to get assistance. I finally got a job that offered medical coverage, but because I went to the emergency room with my blood pressure at an astounding 205/120, I have a preexisting condition. I can't go to the state and get help because I don't have children and I am not pregnant. If there is a place I can go and get help, the waiting list is 6 months to 1 year. I don't understand why it is so hard to get help when you really need it, but if I had a kid (that I cannot take care of) I could get all the help in the world. I thought it was a good thing to be careful and not bring a child into the world that you couldn't take care of....I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
