In reply to the discussion: Got a call from my Doctor's office today............ [View all]hollysmom

I am glad your doctor will see you, Ihave doctors like that, but i can afford to pay them thankfully.
Have you checked to see if there is anywhere you can get your medication cheaper? There are on-line apps. A friend of mine got her prescription for 1/10 what she was paying by going to Costco - you don't have to be a member, they have an uninsured group plan for people members or not, it offers still cheaper medication, but you can't be under a plan to get it,. my pills were cheaper under that plan than they are under my insurance.

I hope everything goes well at the doctors, good luck.
