5 years, 7 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days

This is the time between the day I told our pediatrician that I suspected some form of auditory dyslexia at my son's 24 month checkup (yes, I could tell even then) to today when we finally received a diagnosis of Central Auditory Processing Disorder. I feel like I can finally breathe.

It's come to this (insurance rant)

After anemia, (hgb 8.1, ferritin of 6), chronic and iron induced hypophosphatemia, and a host of other vitamin imbalances, feeling like crap for 2.5 years, 2 iron infusions, 6 weeks of medical leave, and a complete mental breakdown - I finally acquiesced to an IUD to control severe monthly bleeding. My health insurance is changing at the end of June from the most expensive, gold standard plan to something more affordable and a surgeon agreed to insert an IUD while performing another surgery in mid June. And my insurance denied it. My doctors acknowledge the only solutions are IUD or hysterectomy and my insurance denied the IUD. Wtf. Is this a thing in other countries? I don't WANT this, I'm not looking for birth control. I'm being told this is necessary. I had to explain to 3 men and 3 women in call centers why I need this covered. Just why is this dog and pony show necessary?

I don't know whether to cry or go to the batting cages. I could do both I guess.
