Sparklle Rainee: THAT MUST BE A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION TO BE IN......

Making Moves. 

A little sneak peek into a future collaboration! 

Sparkle & I continued the conversation about OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). I open up about a time I almost didn't make it. A car accident that I'll never remember or forget. 

According to (© 2019 CBS Interactive Inc), "Her son, Alec, was a Type 1 diabetic – someone who needs to take insulin every day to survive. But turning 26 meant his parents' insurance would no longer cover the cost, shooting his monthly cost for insulin and supplies up to $1,300 per month, according to his mom. 

"My son died because he could not afford his insulin," she said. 

What she said Alec didn't tell her was that he was struggling with that cost. He'd started trying to ration his insulin to make it last longer. It wasn't enough. He died after falling into a diabetic coma alone in his apartment.

"Nobody to be there with him, to hold his hand or to call for help … and then I think about if he had never moved out, if he had lived at home, somebody would've, you know, seen the signs," Smith-Holt said. "And I'll probably feel guilty every day for the rest of my life."

Even though Alec never told her he was struggling to pay for his insulin, she still feels like she should have known. She said she's dealing with that guilt by advocating for other Type 1 diabetics.

"I deal with my own grief and my guilt by fighting for the lives of others," she said.

The drug industry is starting the New Year by hiking the costs on hundreds of prescription medications despite pressure from President Trump. A group that tracks drug costs said about 60 companies increased the price on almost 300 medications."

Segment #2 with Sparkle Raine. We tackle even harder in this second part of our interview. I introduced the red pill point of a view to a Femenist. We talked about experiences with friends. I learned about what Polyamory was. There's so much. We even touched up on eating disorders. Definitely a good conversation and it's not even over! Swing by abstractdiscovery.com to learn more or check out Medium if you really want to get in my thoughts.
