About a week after my last post, we got a call from the pharmacy, and they took all of my insurance and credit card information. They said they would have the meds to me by June 16th, because I was to begin lupron on June 19th. I waited almost 2 weeks, and the day before the meds were supposed to arrive, the pharmacy calls. They said they are not contracted with my insurance and I would be transferred. At this point I am freaking out because I'm sure there is no way I will get my meds by Tuesday. True to form, I call my new pharmacy and they have absolutely no idea of my prescriptions, they said they never received a fax, and someone would contact me Tuesday. This is the point where I am in major panic mode. I call back my old pharmacy and tell them the situation, and they agree to mail me my lupron overnight while the rest of the meds are being processed through insurance at my new pharmacy. Thank God for intelligent people!! So I wait 3 more days before calling my new pharmacy. They STILL have no idea what I'm talking about. So I kindly (or not so kindly) request to be transferred back to the old pharmacy. Of course they don't have any record of me being transferred, and my old pharmacy also has no records because they were all sent to the new pharmacy. OMG. So now I have to email my nurse and have her RE submit my prescriptions and start alllllll over again. Oh, and did I mention NONE of the meds are covered by insurance anyways?! So this was all for NOTHING, and its still going on!!!!!!! Luckily I don't start my other meds until June 30th.. but of course nothing is easy on this journey for me!!!
With that rant out of the way, today is the day I started Lupron. I was extremely nervous because I was afraid it would hurt. My wonderful, cooperative husband got everything together and injected it really fast. I seriously didn't even know he did it. I hardly felt a thing. It is kind of itchy now but I feel much better about having to take this shot everyday!
I will blog again and tell you how the med drama goes! Here is a picture of hubby getting the lupron ready :)
