So finally go there, and they call the so called pharmacy help desk, and they let them know, no, I have to get it through mail order. So make a long story short, I am having to wait now to get my drop. So hopefully I should have them by next week. So I spoke with I spoke with Express Scripts, and then afterwards person asked me that I want to speak with the former assist if I had any questions. So I did

And then there was a hurricane about four and a half years ago, five years ago in Puerto Rico, and the plant that processed or produced the medication there was compromised and so it was really hard to find it. And I had to go to airportation unapproved Pharmacies to secure it, which then my insurance company wouldn't cover it. So I had to go through an appeal process, even though they were very much so aware of all of this, to get the medication. It was horrendous

And I always laugh and have to remind them of where I come from. It's so much what is expensive, and you're essentially mostly having to get it to your work, and otherwise you're kind of in a hurt box. And that's sort of completely financially kind of well off. So, for me here, the system is perfect. I just walk into the doctors to see you do what they've got to do and that's it

@Her_Sisu thank YOU for your suggestion. 🍁🌞

Yeah, that's crazy. That height to 200, as you said. Yeah, we're blessed to be able to COVID stuff like this, but but it makes no sense. How much more money do these executives have to make? And that's that's the bottom line. It's great. They don't care and we know this. And thank you again for the mentioning of the coupons. You got to look into that. I truly appreciate that suggestion

Glad to hear from you. And I definitely do enjoy your audio shorts and your photos and your post. Man, I really got to get out of that lazy mode and start blogging because it's so much fun. It really is. I mean, you have so many tools at your disposal. Microblogging, Google, I have made me so lazy

Yeah. JL and Darren, I'm sorry you're going through this. It is really something that exposes health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and our legislation and their inability to deal with things like this. And I've seen just countless examples where people depend on drugs for their lives and companies acquiring these drugs and they're called orphan drugs and just raising the price and with with no remorse whatsoever. And they're doing it because they know they can. Your life depends on it
