I hate fucking Pharmacys

Damn it.
Here in Jan I tried to get my Scipts filled. The script that I had in finally ran out. It was written for 30 a month but the insurance would only fill 6 a month (NS). I bring in a written script form my primary doc to get it filled. I did not have my BCBS card yet so it was $756 for 6 NS, had to pass could not afford it. Now 3 weeks ago I got my card and put in for it to be filled and they are out of stock. Now they are telling me that they need to call the doc to see if it is ok to fill it. The hand script is good for a year and does nto run out until April, by then I should have a new doc. But by the time they fill it it will be time for my next refill and I bet they wont give me 12 rather then the 6. This fucking sucks. My care package is runnign out and I need to have something I can use at work and the shots are tough. I am so angry right now I want to cry. It is not a fuckig narcotic it is Trex. I need this...  I feel like a fucking junky and it is not fair that I have to fight so hard to get me something that helps me survive. Fuck this. Hell I already have started smoking again after 8 and a half years cause it gives me an excuse to go outside ny myself when I feel one ramping up. This is a new job I dont want to fuck it up because I cant function.

Thanks for letting me vent. At least now I dont feel like I am going to break into tears here at work.
PF Wishes everyone,

Tianna, have you considered going to a pain clinic? I started going to one in 1996 and was prescribed narcotics as nothing else even touched my CCH pain. I have BCBS, Federal Employee Program and when I was in the US (live in The Netherlands now), I never had a problem getting my scripts filled, no matter how much was prescribed. Many people with CCH or ECH don't believe that opiates do any good, but they work for me. Although I cannot get it here, STADOL, a powerful anesthetic, when used as a nose spray, has been shown to be very effective and fast acting when an attack comes on-you might want to check it out. I've found that family docs are very reluctant to prescribe narcotic medications on a long term basis, but in a pain clinic there is no such problem if the doc there believes that the drug will work for you. I've tried Imigram injections and they didn't do a thing for me and they are expensive. So, please think about the pain clinic option and good luck at your new job.

THanks guys - just really really needed to vent this am. Hoping to make an appointmenet with a new doc sometime soon. Guess what I really hate is whomever I see I might only see a couple of times cause our insurance is changing again come May. Part of me wants to say fuck it and not go but I know that I need treatment fro the CH. I have taken myself off everything else they put me on because it did not help and none of the doc had the balls to try something new. So I start a new doc with a clean slate (so to speak) save the trex.
Will get it figured out.
My Pain killers for my back do nothing for my CH. Trex helps maybe half the time, if I can take it soon enough. But I never took anything higher then Roxicodone (15mg) cause I wont get looped rather then the pain cause of my kids. I'd rather fight through it. Maybe there is something else I can use.
Thanks again guys. Will stay strong
-Tia

I WAS told by a pharmacist that if I needed more than 6 a month they obviously were not working. She said she would have to contact my dr to see if he had any other solutions because this one wasn't working for me. I got beat red in the face and told the %$^%$ that I get 8 ha a day. I take 1 imitrex for each ha and it works. The ha goes away. But 1/2 hr latter they are back again. She said I was suffering from rebound ha and then told me she wouldn't fill my script it wasn't in my best interest and she sugestested I find a new neuro. My insurance changed 3 weeks latter I was so glad but I was ready to kill. I am so glad I am in remission now.

So far, haven't had any real pharmacy issues except for cost. I currently pay $100 for 6 Trex Syringes. Luckily for me, that lasts about 3-4 days.
And yes, I am in the Wingate study. My little pharmacy student is apalled at the cost of drugs. Perhaps, 10 years down the road, she'll be able to make a difference.
Tiannia - I'm so sorry for what you're experiencing. Have you tried Oxygen? I'm a little behind on everyone's history, but at least with O2 you wouldn't have some pharmacist telling you what you should or shouldn't have!
Many Hugs and PF Wishes,
Kris

I don't have pharmacy issues, but I'm competing. Does this mean I should feel guilty? I will, if it helps the team.
I really appreciate the Wingate program. It's kind of strange describing massive script quantities confounded by insurance issues to kids paying tens of thousands of dollars for a degree just to throw pills in a jar by the hour. They mean well, and I'll be damned if I'll Light into one of these students for the problems with our health care situation. Might as well start spitting on Iraq vets.

The Wingate Program can be used as a preventative. The very issues mentioned here were discussed with my student last week.
A Preventative that will eventually become an abortive when enough students are informed of the real issues..

Step back and take a look at this: The Pharmacist is doing his/her job. If your script is a few weeks old (date written) it IS thier job to question.
Yes, I do get hit more than once a day; yes I use up my Trex; yes my pharmacist questions me, too.
Tia--I do feel for you. Honest. Breath deep and know we do understand. You ranted and now I have. I'm off the soapbox. Next?

Tia,
As part of our BCBS coverage we have a mail order prscription plan, look into it. I was able to get 2 Imitrex NS a day and a 90 day supply. Do the math. The pharmacy, even if the insurance approves it, most of the time were out of stock....and gave a hard time about it
