Prayers answered - wonderful news! I’m so happy you’ll be able to get some of your medications at least!
I hope no one misunderstands what I’m about to say, but I feel I need to say it for wisdom’s sake.
I understand some may want to remain anonymous (okay, if so) — but in the long run, wouldn’t freepers be better served if they knew when you’ve raised enough to purchase your meds by having a public tally (like in the freepathons)?
Otherwise, unless you’ve been able to come on to post immediately after receiving each and every email when someone has donated, no one would know the amount that’s been raised. You’re not able to be at your computer 24/7, and many freepers are 3 hours behind Georgia time.
It just makes sense to me. Think about this, there might be a compassionate freeper or two with limited income themselves who might want to give what they’re able — but realistically, even a small amount would be a sacrifice for them.
Do you know what I mean? But if they knew with seeing each donation being public, they could make a better decision for themselves as to whether or not they should donate.
Admittedly, this is all JMO. Absolutely, if a freeper wishes to remain anonymous, they should — so I apologize to all if I’m stepping on any toes in that regard.
I do understand your critical need at this time, and I pray you get everything needed in order to get these critical medications — but things like this are best done in the open as much as possible.
Just had a thought...in case the pharmacy can’t create a loan account for you... maybe a freeper friend would be willing to make a small loan for the remainder. At least that way you could go ahead and get everything you need.
I hope he can help but why do you use a private pharmacy instead of Walmart where the drugs would be much cheaper?
I’m so glad to hear there is some understanding of your situation going on...you have sure had a hard time of it with trying to get your doctors to listen to you! You remain in my prayers...Maybe now, they will avoid the things that are messing with you and give you what helps!
The reason I use a smaller pharmacy is because I went to walmart one time to get my meds filled and was told it would be 45 minutes before they would be ready...2 hours later, we were still waiting. I went to the one I use now and 5 minutes after giving them a paper script, I had my meds and was walking out the door (literally...this was before the accident that put me in the chair). The service is better, they know me when I walk in so I don’t even ahve to give them my name or the kids’ names...I prefer the better service...though if I were to lose my insurance long term, I may have to reconsider my stand and go back to the longer wait and worse service.
Tracy I know it must be difficult to wait, but the difference in cost is tremendous! When we first moved here I was using a local grocery store for meds and it totalled 285 a month - switched to Sams (and this was NOT 90 day quantities, just monthly) and my total was less than $100 - I don’t know your exact prescrip but 10, 2mg dialauded at Walmart is less than $10 - and I think you mentioned $85 - well worth the wait I think. Good luck!
Related-—new info. New DEA rules.
“The change means that, in most instances, patients will have to present to a pharmacy a prescription from a health-care provider and no longer can rely on a phoned or faxed-in one. “

1 only hopes, he had me do a silly test Fri. you bow into a bag, then they make you drink just a few ounces of a powder, then wait, take an AB xray, then wait for a full fifteen mins. Blow into another bag, it tells them if you have a infection in your intestines. Mine was negative. But it set off the AB and Back 8 level pain for the rest of the day, should not have lasted more than a hr.
Took my Toredol away, made me try NORCO 5 mg just take it as 10 mg before bed, so I’m now back in OA pain wide spread. Weird, pain med does not work on the AB pain at all.
