Re: GREAT NEWS!!! Humatrope Cooler and Needle Hider Now Offered by Eli Lilly

[Guest guest]

,

Thanks for the info. I was hoping that Eli Lilly would come out with these

things! I am going to call our rep tomorrow. I have a name and number

because Max's Pen just wore out and they very quickly replaced it - even

sent it up to camp for him instead of sending it here first. I've also

asked Dr. H. if they sent her any of this stuff. I'd love for her to get

some for us if the rep. from Eli Lilly can't or won't.

I called Eli Lilly directly today to ask about the cooler and the needle

hider. They do not manufacture these products, so they are only available

through the reps right now. I was hoping that the woman would tell me that

she had a huge supply and would send them out to me right away!

I did email Dr. H. about these products and, while she was not aware of them

just yet, she said she would look out for them and make sure that all of her

patients who want them would get them. I guess we will just ask about them

at our next appointment in October. On Monday, however, I may call the

mailorder pharmacy that supplies the Humatrope and ask if they have these

new items.
