the day after. I had a restless night but I feel so much better today knowing that is all behind me for now.
My daughter stopped by this morning and took me to the pharmacy and to Kroger to get a few groceries. Each time I shop at the grocery store everything is higher. Distilled water jumped from 91 cents a gallon to 97 cents a gallon since last week. I have to use that in the c-pap so even though I can’t drink it, still it is a necessity.
At the pharmacy I found out that a new drug that the doctor wants me to take will have to be approved by my insurance company. No approval it is $295.50 a month (30 pills). If the insurance company doesn’t approve it the doctor will have to figure out something else as that is a little steep for my budget. I hate new meds anyway as I usually have an adverse reaction to them.
The storms passed us by and I am glad although we are getting desperate on the rain needed situation. It is sunny and beautiful today although pretty windy. 59 degrees right now and to get to the mid 60s by afternoon.
I hope you all have a great weekend. Stay safe and be happy!!
Beth
Glad you slept a bit better!
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying that the new med cost works out that is a lot for each month. There has to be approved or a better cost one.
I'm glad to hear the storms past over you! You take it easy and enjoy a relaxing day.
Thanks for your sweet comments. xoxo
Man, I sure know what its like not having something approved by the insurance co. They'd be happy if you took a teaspoon of mud or something instead of medicine and probably make you pay for that too. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI know that the side effects and cost of medications are not fun at all. I hope that you can find some relief. I know you've been struggling for some time now. There's a silver lining to every cloud Beth, I really believe that! We have one more great day before it cools off considerably here so I intend to enjoy it all I can! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteJack had that happen with a drug he has to take. The Doctor called and talked to the ins. co. and he received a letter approving the drug. Hope they approve yours.
ReplyDeleteI am glad it's behind you too. I hope they can find a reasonable priced med, if there is such a thing. Hugs
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the insurance company approving your medication. Damn insurance companies! THEY control medicine now. Not the doctors.
ReplyDeleteWe have run a family corner drug store for years, and wow do we know all about insurance companies. And the government. -sigh-
Gentle hugs,

UGH! The cost of meds is staggering! Have a great day Beth, enjoy the good weather.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
I hope the meds are approved or you can find something else. good grief! Must have been a much more relaxing day knowing you wee done with the tests. Hope it got into the 60s and you had a relaxing day. :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear. I sure do hope your insurance will approve the new drug. ONe never knows about insurance. That is a horrible price to have to pay. Prices on anything have just gotten way out of hand, I think.,
ReplyDeleteThese drugs are just too darn expensive, and like you, I hate taking new ones because I don't know the reaction I will have. I hope you are able to get this new drug approved by the insurance company and that you have no adverse reaction.
ReplyDeleteA few months ago, I had to drive to the next town to fill my prescription for a heart medication. I then had to pay $150 out of pocket. There days later, my doctor took me off the medicine and put me on another. OUCH
I thinking about you Beth,please your get better soon.

ReplyDeleteOh sweet Beth my dear blog friend, thank you for your dear comment's that mean so much to me.
Love,debbie:)
It's good to get those appointments over and done with Beth, a lot off your mind. Hope you find the Med's that will suit you and your insurance.
ReplyDeleteStay warm hope your sleeping has improved.
Hugs Sheila and Wile-e xx
You don't have things easy, do you Beth, to have to pay for meds is a disgrace in this day and age, you'd think we were in the nineteenth century, as far as the price of everything rising it's the same here, where will it all end. Till the rich have all they want from us, maybe?
