UGH. I am SO FRUSTRATED.

I was on an experimental weight loss drug for a year and a half. It worked great! Unfortunately the study ended. I did OK for a month, and then tried taking something else (not a GLP1, much cheaper), but it didn't really work. Bummer. Then they announced they'd be selling vials of zepbound for much cheaper than $1000, but you have to go through the manufacturer! OK, yay! Because I've been eating my face off again and gaining weight and I Do Not Like. So I go to my doctor three weeks ago and ask, and she agrees to write the prescription. She can't figure out how, but sends me off with a paper one. They only accept electronic ones. I figure out how to add them in the patient system as my "pharmacy" and she send a prescription. Except they say they never got it. OK. I ask her to rewrite and re-send. She does. They say it doesn't have the right ICD10 code. I ask her to rewrite and re-send. She does. They say it STILL doesn't have the right IC10 code (apparently even though the WORDING of the prescription, which I can see, includes "ICD10 [correct code]" there's some spot I can't see that has a different one??). And the doctor's office has basically said "deal with it with the pharmacy yourself" because they're sick of going back and forth for this one prescription. I JUST WANT THIS MED WHY IS THIS SO HARD.

Jesus, meara, that sucks. It shouldn't be so hard to PAY for a freaking drug with no insurance involved.

Right?? I'm not even trying to deal with insurance here!! I even tried giving up on my doctor and signing up for Telehealth, and did a visit an hour later (yay) and....they said they aren't able to send to that "pharmacy" so they are willing to prescribe but can't do it.

Ok, the supervisor finally called me back from the pharmacy and suddenly it was all “oh yes it’s in process!” And now it’s supposedly arriving tomorrow. And thankfully my neighbor did pick up my package and it was not stolen and she dropped it off at my house. Yay!

Nice update! Phew!

Finally!

Tep, Finally finished A Room With A View last night--kind of agree I'm overdue a George Emerson, even though I might miss him because, if I have a physical type, he doesn't match it. But yes, it's great that he's spontaneous and all that jazz.) (And, yes, more than ever, I relate to that dutiful, artistic main character slowly and lovingly smothered by her fam. Even if I've never worn so many clothes as that.)

Yay! I love it so much.

Yeah, I watched it once before, but it started too late and I didn't get to the end.

Does anyone have temporary haircolor recommendations that work well in dark hair? ltc wants teal and purple for her Halloween costume. The chalks we have tried barely show up.
