Di,
I'm going to be getting some lazer treatments done soon on my varicose veins. The doctor said that they have some trouble getting the insurance companies to cover it but that they keep at it, so I guess they will if the dr. is persistent. I would try to find one that will work for you to get it paid. I had one stripped once and it wasn't very uncomfortable but haven't had lazer yet so I can't tell you about it yet. I think I'm going to be getting it done next Wednesday.I had an ultrasound done on my veins this week to see if I was a good candidate for the treatment and I know the tech said that I had some reflux which means some blockage so I assume that the dr will do it. I've had hundreds(not exagerating) of injections done on my spider veins over the years.It used to be covered by insurance, but in the last few yrs,they changed that and won't pay for it now. The injections do hurt for a few minutes but I found that if I took some Tylenol or something like that ahead of time, it was easier to take.The medicine stings as it goes in.I really need both done so I'll have to pay for the spiders myself. Let me know how you do if you have it done and if you want, I'll get back with you next week about how it went with me.
