Concerned about recent finances with expenses that I have not had to incur before. 

Lately, my finances have become a real worry 😟  I have had to purchase some unsessary items for medical use, which I have been unable to return. For instance, just the other day, I purchased a new heating pad for my arthritis. Unfortunately, the heating pad just didn’t get hot enough, so I had to purchase another one today. 😫  I also bought a diabetes meter to test for low blood sugar in the mornings 🌄 but I was not able to figure out how to properly use it. So, it really was a waste of money.

My bill for groceries has also gone up expanintally, I have been purchasing a few new foods to find out if they would cause a flare-up, foods such as expensive cheese 🧀 and potatoes 🥔 as well as a few other items. Sadly 😥 they have all caused flares, so again 😔 I have been wasting money 💰


Another large expense that I have never had before on my credit card is paying my two helpers. These costs have gone way up lately because I have been needing them to come around more and more. 😬 (But just as a side note, I do need them desperately) (this is no insult to them)
(It’s definitely not their fault)

Anyway
I have needed them to go down to the apartment complex cluster of mailboxs quite frequently. For pills and other items. The mailbox is much too far for me to walk. 😬

They also pick up my prescriptions from Walgreens often, they also take Max to the vet when he has to go (which he has recently) and now since I have had more dental and other appointments they have had to drive me to these also 😬

Also, as I have discussed dental issues with this disease, I have been incurring massive dental bills as of late 😳  with no dental insurance 😳

My last credit card bill really frightened me 😬 It was a lot larger than usual. And I imagine it will be the same for a while 😬 I really hope that I can afford the constant financial requirements for this strange illness 🤒
