ARGGHHHGGGHGHGGGHHHHHH! Allow me to rant before I lose my feeble mind.
I wasn't able to make is to meeting last week, as my decidedly useless (former) pharmacy "forgot" to call me about my thyroid refill, or the lack thereof. They said that they no longer can purchase Armour Thyroid from the pharmaceutical company, and then neglected to call their thyroid patients telling them that they will no long be able to fill their prescriptions, and to find someone that can. This doesn't seem like such a huge issue, except for that they are the only pharmacy that carried Armour Thyroid in an hour radius from Hyden. Luckily, after a considerable amount of time on the phone wild-goose-chasing every pharmacy in south-eastern Kentucky to see if they carry my meds, I found one in London, KY (about and hour and a half from where I live) that actually makes the medicine...but is STILL and hour and a half from home. Ridiculous.
Onto other things, my sister's baby shower is this weekend, and my mother is the effing queen of being frustrating/irritating/stressful. She's not very well off, but has a lot of friends, and that is what she is counting on to get her through planning this shower. Let her throw it, and everyone else buy the gifts. Well what she doesn't realize, is that even though she is the one who reserved the room and purchased the rinky-dink gifts to be handed out as party favors, she has put EVERYTHING ELSE on me.

Have you checked into getting your meds thru an online pharmacy? It might even save you some money.
ReplyDeleteI have, and plan on doing so. I just need that certain medication every day, and needed somewhere where they have it on short notice (I was a day away from running out).
ReplyDeleteI guess I didn't really make everything totally clear in that right. It's something that I need to take daily, at the same time every day, before I eat...lots of little complicated stuff to go along with it... and the lack of cooperation with the pharmacy, is really irritating. They have a long history of screwing things up, you see.
But ah...life goes on.
Oh no, I understood the pharmacy a-holes, and I knew from previous blogs that the thyroid drug is pretty darn critical for you. It was just an idea I had that you hadn't brought up here. I know someone that went that route with their hormones. I forget her name...
ReplyDeleteHeheheh. :) Thanks though, Leslie.
