Bad Mood

I've been a week trying to get my prescriptions corrected and filled. So far, I have spent a total of 5 hours on different days sitting on the little metal bench in front of the pharmacy window at Wal-Mart and I still do not have the meds I need. It is not the pharmacist's fault, however.

When I finally got a neurologist in Florida, I took him the medication bottles of what I have been on for two years. He suggested a different sleep med to help establish sleep patterns after brain injury. He gave me samples and a prescription. The workmens comp carrier has to approve it. The pharmacy called and left a message. Finally, today, the adjuster returned the call and denied the medication! No explanation. They won't cover it, period.

The pain meds I have been taking have been reasonably effective. I didn't realize the doctor had changed the prescription to Vicoden (5/500), which I can't take. The pharmacy faxed both of his offices and I called several times. I was always told he would call back. Now a WEEK HAS GONE BY AND STILL NOTHING! I am down to 2 pills. We are at crisis level at this point.

I am going to his office tomorrow. He's only there once a week!

I cannot deal with the head pain and no effective meds. It feels really awful to be at the mercy of a system of others who have your well-being in their hands and do not seem to care about it.

I know I am letting it all hang out and will mellow out later after prayer... but I made a promise that this blog would be the real deal, and right now, this is how I feel. Of course, deep down, I know God has it all under control, but I MUST SAY I'M NOT LIKING THE LESSON I'M SUPPOSED TO BE LEARNING FROM ALL THIS.
