I’ve been reading about it for a few years now. I’m still a bit skeptical, it’s only one doctor/lab that does this. I’ve also read several people thought it was covered by their insurance but still got a bill for $800. So what would you do if you had the test and it was positive? Sometimes they have a clinical trial and use so many people with a positive test. Half get placebo and the other one gets god knows what. I feel crappy enough without being someone’s guinea pig. Sorry, I’ve had a rough few days and I’m crabby 🙁

Sorry they were also having a trial for a vaccine after they've been monitoring you. I want that. As long as it's not too dangerous. Hugs

I've only just seen an article yesterday about it it was an ad actually. I'm on Medicaid and the first thing they said they take most Medicare and most insurances if they don't say Medicaid they usually don't take it I left my # last they didn't call yet?
