Guest guest Posted September 14, 2000 Report Share Posted September 14, 2000 Great prices on your insurance, mine is 50 per month but hey i 'm not complaining because at first my insurance said they were not even going to pay and so 50$ month is much better than 1150 a month which is what we were going to have to try to come up with.

Well the combo with my ins company (Caremark for pharmacy) is $15 per 3 months sent fedex. Normally, if I get my script at a local pharmacy I can only get one month's worth and it costs $15 for brand name/$5 for generic. But here combo is only available thru mail as I think they prolly have some deal with a company thing. Don't ask me details I dunno. My doc just orders extra on the script since I'm doing more than than the standard 3 X a week. I'll end up with mucho more ribavarin in the end, but hey, not my problem. They won't unbundle it when they send it (Schering's thing I think).

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2000 Report Share Posted September 14, 2000 Lora!!! I'm so proud of you! I'm having a heck of a week.. end of month at work, lots of overtime, grandkids sick, hubby sick (bug going around), luckily I'm not sick with the bug, just the usual, then tonight on the way home from work, car breaks down. We have to walk to a Jack in the Box for me to sit (I didn't think I was gonna make it!) and hubby walks to a parts store. We get home about 8pm finally. Then my physician's asst calls, bless her heart. I had called her telling her that I'm on some kind of crying stint, on and off, and my energy levels are up and down wierdly. She is gonna call me in more effexor (I was on 100mg, then she upped to 75, now another 75 or something don't quote me). Hopefully that will help. I asked her to order my combo to last just past the 6th month pcr in case I lose my job. Dunno if I will make it to work tomorrow or not. It takes about 12 hours for things to hit me hard. and I've only 2 sick days left, no vacation time etc. <sigh> so things have been busy! alley/ ICQ 12631861 alleypat@... http://www.flash.net/~alleypat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2000 Report Share Posted September 16, 2000 I hope you don't lose your job. What a bummer that would be. I think I mentioned before that I lost my job before I went on treatment. Although I am glad I do not have the stress of daily job duties, I do think a job would help me keep my mind positive. This past week has been a stresssful one without a job. My 16 year old son called me from the emergency room monday after school. Said he needed some stitches and could I come and get him. 12 stitches later, he was home with crutches, and home from school for 3 and 1/2 days!!!!!! AGGGGHHHHHH. Then my 13 year old wakes me on a shot night to tell me that he has an ear ache. Take him to the doc the next day and find out he has a double ear infection that has blistered!!! Now there are two teenagers home needing to be waited on. My mom came to help, but all we did was argue over the other doing too much. Husband, of course, was gone ALL week!!!!!!! Oh well, I lived and so did the teenagers !!!! LOL! Alley Pat, hope your week ended better than it started. Keep us posted.
