Okay, yeah, that seems a little creepy, Hil.

Went to go pick up my prescription from the doctor and it's not readymade hopefully tomorrow. I told them about the new insurance issue and at the desk they flat out said it's against policy to get refill prescriptions for that type of medicine. Which I assumed since I have to call and ask for a refill every month, go pick it up and show my ID and then take it to the pharmacy.

So I'll be calling CVS/Caremark back later this week to see what to do.

Did we know (or care) that they are remaking Charmed? [link] (fully possible that you all discussed this on one of the days I had to hit "recent" on Natter)

Apparently the Original Three are pissed.

The Original Three can be pissed, but I'll give it a try. Looks good to me!

Insurance sucks I found out I can't mail in a prescription for a controlled substance so that is good. But I finally read all the fine print on the coupon and it only takes off $30. So my medicine will be like $240. Since I make $9 an hour that is basically a week's pay after taxes and insurance etc.

Well until my deductible kicks in and I don't know if I'll make it by the end of the year and then it will start over again.

If I thought I had a chance in hell of getting money I might try Go Fund Me. Because I really don't want to ask for my parents help on this. But

I hate our current health care in this country. And I'm not at work and I'm supposed to because I am crying and not fit for people. I told them I'd be there in an hour and I have to go in because I need the money and I was supposed to work 10 -7, almost open to close because we are short handed.

I need a better paying job. The only better paying jobs that aren't in the medical field around here are fast food (literally Burger King pays more) and I don't think they hire full time and I couldn't handle that.

If I moved in with Matthew I would have more options but I can't do that right now because it would be too much change and possibly set me back.

I feel like I can never get ahead and any progress I make is just eroded away.

I'm sorry, askye. Have you asked your doctor about any assistance programs for your meds, or if another option would be less expensive? Insurance companies are evil.

I hope you are able to get into work. If nothing else being busy can be distracting.

askye I'm sorry you are going through this. I have to say I'm really proud of how far you have come and knowing yourself well enough that moving in with Matthew might hurt more than help.

You may not have the spoons for this but if Vyvanse is the drug that helps you the most there may be some workarounds. Often times the companies themselves are willing to help out (besides the coupons) if you contact them directly. Also your Psych/med manager may be able to request samples if they are willing to do that.

Insurance is the devil.

Oh, man, askye, that's so much money. I'm sorry. It is ridiculous that you have to make these sorts of calculations.

Charmed reboot: I am into the new version. The trailer or whatever you call it for a tv show looks pretty good and it's the creator of Jane the Virgin so I have high hopes. For some reason Google decided I needed to be alerted whenever Holly whatsername said something new against it but that just kinda makes me like her less.

I'd seen some promos for the new Charmed, but I wasn't really interested. Maybe I'll take a look ....

Insurance is so ridiculous. But I am somewhat ashamed to say that after all the fuss I made about them forcing me to change my medication, the new one is actually working even better, I think!!
