I just wanted to mention again that if you have AAA, they also offer discounts on medications....
The mail order that my company uses is express scripts. They usually don't do pain meds though, at least I wouldn't want those coming in the mail. But a AAA membership is like $81 a year (and you can...
OK, i just looked up one. The 100mg every 12 hours. with AAA its $345.03. I realize that's still very expensive but its just an example because it said retail price was like over $4,000 for 60 pills....
Man, doesn't that just drive you crazy? Since when is insurance supposed to be "for profit". I'm so sorry your going through all of this, just to get your medication. Can you take Oxycontin, If you...
That is awesome to hear! I always wondered what happened with it. CONGRATULATIONS!...
I believe there is a blood test for Crohn's as well. I had one, it was expensive, like $400 and my insurance didn't cover it. This was about 5 years ago, so I don't remember what it is. It may have...
Regardless, I'll take the FDA's word for it. Another discussion from back in 2011. http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=16&m=2184522...
From the FDA's website: slide #9 Misinformation There is a frequent misinterpretation of the bioequivalence of generic drugs. The assertion that levels of the active ingredient in generic drugs may...
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the +/- difference in generic medications was for the inactive ingredients, not the actual oxy itself. I'll look for the link a little later. Whitebeard, good luck with...
I don't know if you seen my post on your other thread, but have you been tested for c-diff?...
Hi Seymour, I just wanted to wish you a good luck today. I also wanted to ask you, have you been tested for a c-diff infection? I'm sorry if this has already been asked and answered but I've just...
Seymore, the pain is both cramps and shooting stabbing pain. The cramps do go away with a BM, (but usually comes back within an hour or so) but the shooting/stabbing like pain doesn't. I've been put...
I was diagnosed with IBS, after I had my gall bladder removed. Let me tell you, it HURTS, all the time. Sometimes the pain and cramping is so bad I can hardly move. When I'm having a flair-up, it...
Hi there, I've been gone for a while, but I can sympathize with you on the mouth pain. I've lost all but 2 1/2 upper teeth and about 6 lower ones. To be honest, the one thing that works better than...
I'm miserable as usual, have been for about 3 weeks now. My IBS still hasn't lessened up, luckily there's a rest room right outside of my office. I've developed pain in my hands / wrist / fingers. It...
OK, since I don't wear jewlry, or shoes with laces, I think maybe I should get a tatoo of the medical alert and have it say check wallet or something to that extent. I have plenty of tatoo's. (you...
Another thing that might help in certain situations is, when I'm driving, my purse gets clicked in with my seat-belt. (I have a long strap). Granted if the car explodes, it won't help much, but you...
Vicki, I am so sorry that I haven't been around to post sooner, but I am so glad he is recovering and prayers continued for a smooth, full recovery and for all of you....
David, I'm so very sorry about your legal issues, i can feel your frustrations in your words. If its a fight that you no longer want to waste any more energy on, then I fully support your decision on...
Lindsey, I hope things go well for you Tuesday and you get to feeling better soon. Will be thinking and praying for you....
Well I'm at work, and i am having a full blown IBS flair up. It hurts and I'm grouchy. 8-( Prayers and hugs to everyone and especially to you Barb and David, I hope you can at least get some much...
Prayers and hugs to you Linds. Try to do your best to get some rest. Thinking of you....
jpjr50, continued prayers for the next interview. You must be really excited! I'm excited for you!...
Morning everyone. I know this thread is kind of old, but I just wanted to let anyone, who needs/wants one know, that if you have an Aldi's store in your area, they have a 7qt crock-pot for $20....
Vicki, I'm sorry your granddaughter got hurt. Like everyone said, kids are much tougher than we give them credit for. Also, you shouldn't feel bad for not going to the ER, you wouldn't be any good to...
Hi everyone. I've been sick. I've had "D" and tummy troubles going on three weeks now, it is FINALLY starting to slow down (knock on wood). I've also been vomiting for about a week and a half,...
Here in Ohio, yes they can fire you for any reason (even though we aren't right to work yet) BUT they CANNOT fire you because of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age (over 55) or because...
Lindsey, I'm so sorry about this. It drives me crazy to hear about things like this, plus with Michigan now being a "right to work" state might make things more difficult. I won't go off on any...
David, I haven't had a chance to read your post yet, I actually have to run, but I just wanted to tell you that I was really disappointed with the way you were treated over on the other board. I will...
Mthixton, I am so sorry you're having these problems. My family and my in-laws are like yours, but luckily for me, I just cut them off completely. My situation is much different though, my son is on...
Snowbunny, Thanks for posting this information! While I don't need it yet, I imagine I will someday, and I know this could help many, many people out. So I just wanted to say thanks again for putting...
The NP at my Dr. office is great. She explained my MRI to me. I pretty much already new what everything meant by research but they way she described the arthritis in the facet joints. She said that...
Easy crock pot recipe. Boneless beef ribs, toss in crock-pot, add your favorite BBQ sauce (about 1/2 to 2/3 of the bottle), turn it on low before work, come home from work - done. Can eat like it is...
I wish I could offer some advice. I used to have regular cycles while on the pill, then they got bad after a while. I started depo-provera about 18 years ago and haven't had a period since (with the...
Weekend sucked, this week is going to suck and today especially is going to suck. I've been in a flare forever it seems like and today is my 13 hour day at work. I can't wait until my appointment on...
I hope you're feeling a little better today. did you get in touch with your doctor? I also agree, alcohol, is the BEST for when it comes to that kind of pain. I've had many, many teeth pulled over...
It sounds like to me that this so called family, was simply looking for a fast payday. No offense to anyone, but there really are some people who only care about what they can/will inherit or how...
I fell asleep during my MRI. Granted, they gave me the wedge thingy and I did get to shift once because my arms were in an awkward position, but that vibration of the machine pretty much knocked me...
Sherrie, I hope everything goes OK with your GP, and hopefully your getting some rest right now....
I also get pill counts at every visit. I was short once by 3 pills (one days worth). I was honest and explained that I had been in a lot of pain for a few days, probably weather related, luckily my...
Wow Barbara, I am so, so sorry that things keep going bad for you. It drives me crazy that they won't even give you extra meds to at least help with your pain, I can't understand why the doctors wont...
I think I understand now. I had a Facebook app that was like that. So i deleted that, went into the web browser and just added it as a bookmark. Granted its still there if someone wants to look, but...
Vicki, I don't know if this will help, but let me give you an example, when I'm here at work I am constantly logged in, I rarely use my home computer. However if I use my home computer I have to log...
Vickie, there isn't really much that I can add that hasn't already been said. But I just wanted to say that you are a very strong woman and that you will make the right choice for you and while...
Nicely said Kathy, and I couldn't agree more! 8-)...
I have a hiding spot that no one can find. Other than the one day's worth that I keep in my pocket or my bra "pocket", and when I go to bed, I put it in my nightstand, and by that time there is only...
That is great news!!!!!!!!!...
David, I just wanted to tell you that I'm thinking of you and I hope your appointment goes well, even though it has been delayed. I admire your courage and you are an inspiration to me to keep going,...
Prayers and hugs to you Barbara....
David, I'm also sorry that your appointment got pushed back, but I'm glad that you do finally have an appointment Prayers and hugs to you as always....
