What kind of insurance is supported for a SLE Patient for 2 decades and doing ok overall
Ans: For a patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) who is doing well overall and looking for insurance coverage, here are some types of insurance that may be suitable:

Health Insurance: A comprehensive health insurance plan that covers hospitalization, medication, and other medical expenses related to SLE can provide financial protection against high medical bills. Some insurers offer specialized health insurance plans for individuals with pre-existing conditions like SLE.
Critical Illness Insurance: Critical illness insurance provides a lump-sum payout if you are diagnosed with a critical illness like SLE. This can help cover treatment costs and other expenses related to your condition.
Life Insurance: Term life insurance or whole life insurance can provide financial security to your dependents in case of your untimely demise. Some insurers may offer life insurance coverage to individuals with controlled SLE, although premiums may be higher.
Travel Insurance: If you travel frequently, consider purchasing travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and other travel-related risks. Make sure to disclose your SLE diagnosis when purchasing travel insurance to ensure you are adequately covered.
Disability Insurance: Disability insurance provides income replacement if you are unable to work due to a disability, including SLE. This can help maintain your financial stability and cover your living expenses if you are unable to work.
Medicare or Medicaid: Depending on your age and financial situation, you may qualify for Medicare or Medicaid, which can help cover medical expenses related to SLE. Check eligibility requirements and coverage options in your state.
When applying for insurance, it's important to disclose your SLE diagnosis and provide accurate information about your health condition. Some insurers may require a medical examination or review of your medical records to assess your eligibility and determine premiums. Consulting with an insurance advisor or broker who specializes in health insurance for individuals with pre-existing conditions can help you find suitable coverage options tailored to your needs and budget.

Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

IIT-JEE, NEET-UG, SAT, CLAT, CA, CS Exam Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Career
My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
