my local store was out of liquid iron so the pharamist gave me some from his stock in the back and he charged me only three dollars! So nice of the pharamcist and the girl was saying underneath his breath, you shouldn't be doing that. I don't care, I needed and he was nice to share what he had in the back. I'm just needed a little to get by till my shipment comes in!

Random acts of kindness. It's crazy what a HUGE difference they make in people's life, isn't it? I try to take advantage of any opportunity I have to compliment people or even just listen to them. I know how much it means to me, so it makes me happy to be able to do it for others.

Thank you for sharing!

I had a good experience with a pharmacist before too. I was at this one pharmacy a little further from my house and wanted to switch to the other one closer. I ordered Humira but it was messed up. Humira Protection Plan wouldn't pay for my order. I was devastated! Pharmacist said they couldn't do anything about it and Humira just stopped paying. I went home crying. So I called Humira a couple of times and they said I should switch back. Said, done. The old pharmacy had the same issue. But this time the pharmacist immediately got on the phone. After 15 minutes on the phone he said that I should go home and he'll call me. Not even 10 minutes after I arrived home, he called and said he fixed it. They accidently ordered 2 months worth of Humira and that's why Humira wouldn't pay. He actually did a really good job and I'm very thankful.

Was it the one in WB? Is that a CVS or a Rite-Aid? I am just curious :) I sometimes think about that because when I go to Gladwin, I am afraid that I will need a certain med but Gladwin only has a Rite-Aid but all my scripts are at CVS.

But that was very nice of him. Pay it forward :)

Hi Red_34 in West Branch it's Walgreens. Mark is his name, he's so sweet! How long does iron if your deficient start to kick in? I'm still so very tired!

Ah ok - I will keep that in mind :) Iron, it depends on how deficient you are. The worse you are, the longer it might take to recover. How long have you been on it so far? And what were your counts? (I'm sorry if you posted it and I missed it)

BTW, Pillsbury farina is very good for iron replacement. The standard-size serving contains 50% of adult daily iron requirement. You can cook it with lactose-free milk, or another liquid your gut accepts. Glad the pharmacist helped you! They really can be body-savers, and I'm very sorry that the trend is to replace them with mail-order Rx service to chronically ill patients-- because it reduces the total cost of meds for our insurers. / Old Hat (31 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)
