more boring that chemo, at least chemo you might have drugs to sleep. However not on an ongoing basis like you - you must be wiped. I remember I had it on a couple of occasions after blood loss and I was wiped - and you've been doing this for nearly a year? Wow. Kudos to you for even having the energy to talk to us.

My insurance we'll straighten out. I'm not working, hence no work insurance. I have medicare part A but not part B because of a screwup which I need to go to the SS office this week and try to straighten out. Not as good as what I had but better than nothing, I think. I haven't tried to use it yet. I've been paying out of pocket so far.
